Here's the deal 00:14
'Cause I know you wanna talk about it 00:17
Here's the deal 00:21
I promise you, like, a million tomorrows 00:25
Here's the deal 00:31
What I can promise is I'll lie down 00:33
Like a bed of wildflowers 00:40
And I'll always make the sheets 00:43
Smell like gardenias wild at your feet 00:49
And I nourish you hazily 00:54
Baby I, I, I, I've been runnin' on stardust 01:01
Alone for so long 01:10
I wouldn't know what hot fire was 01:14
Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I'm better with you 01:17
It's strange, but it's true, darling 01:26
Not to turn into a wildfire 01:30
To light up your night 01:34
With only my smile and nothing that burns 01:37
Baby, I'll be like a wildflower 01:43

Here's the deal 02:20
You say there's gaps to fill in, so here 02:24
Here's the deal 02:30
My father never stepped in 02:32
When his wife would rage at me 02:37
So I ended up awkward but sweet 02:42
Later than hospitals and still on my feet 02:47
Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry 02:56
And baby I, I've been running on star drip 03:02
IV's for so long 03:09
I wouldn't know how cruel the world was 03:12
Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I'm better 03:16
So I turn but I learn (it from you, babe) 03:23
Not to turn into a wildfire 03:29
To light up your night 03:33
With only my smile and nothing that hurts 03:36
Baby, I run like a wildflower 03:42
I live on sheer willpower 03:47
I promise that nothing will burn you 03:50
Nothing will burn, burn, burn, burn 03:56

Lyrics:

[English]

Here's the deal

'Cause I know you wanna talk about it

Here's the deal

I promise you, like, a million tomorrows

Here's the deal

What I can promise is I'll lie down

Like a bed of wildflowers

And I'll always make the sheets

Smell like gardenias wild at your feet

And I nourish you hazily

Baby I, I, I, I've been runnin' on stardust

Alone for so long

I wouldn't know what hot fire was

Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I'm better with you

It's strange, but it's true, darling

Not to turn into a wildfire

To light up your night

With only my smile and nothing that burns

Baby, I'll be like a wildflower

I live on sheer willpower

I'll do my best never to turn into something

That burns, burns, burns

Like the others baby, burns, burns, burns

Here's the deal

'Cause I know you wanna talk about it

Here's the deal

You say there's gaps to fill in, so here

Here's the deal

My father never stepped in

When his wife would rage at me

So I ended up awkward but sweet

Later than hospitals and still on my feet

Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry

And baby I, I've been running on star drip

IV's for so long

I wouldn't know how cruel the world was

Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I'm better

So I turn but I learn (it from you, babe)

Not to turn into a wildfire

To light up your night

With only my smile and nothing that hurts

Baby, I run like a wildflower

I live on sheer willpower

I promise that nothing will burn you

Nothing will burn, burn, burn, burn

Like the others baby, burns, burns, burns

Burn, burn, burn

Like the others baby, burn, burn, burn

It's you from whom I learn, learn, learn

It's you from whom I learn, learn, learn
