I woke up and all I heard was drumming in my ear

I turned and saw you, next to me, fast asleep, said, “I gotta get out of here”

Oh baby, it’s nothing personal, just this fire in my bones

I’ll write a book about it, explain it all to you one day, but for now, can you leave me alone?

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna do it real slow

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I gave a coin to an old woman to help me find my way

She said, “Intuition is just calling a spade a spade”

Oh baby, just be quiet for a sec, honey, I’m so confused

I need answers, but all I’m getting is jive-talk from you

And I wanna settle down like a child in your arms sometimes

But right now, I’ve got a date balancing on a high wire

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna do it real slow

I’m gonna walk on the coals

Moths are drawn to flames

Children play their games

Since the dawn of time

We confuse passion with desperation

So now I’m caught up in between

Some breakage and a dream

So I’m pushing it, pushing it all away

And I’m moving, and there’s nothing you can say

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna do it real slow

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna walk on the coals

I’m gonna get me some control...

I’m gonna walk on the coals
