Bonfire

[Verse 1: Everett Champion]
Think back to all the good times that we had
Sit back and fade off into the the past
And sometimes they can make me sad
But I'll still listen, I swear that I'll cause I'll be back
Back from the city, back to my town
Back to the place I would run around
With my friends playing music too loud
Looking for some girls who are prolly just down
But it’s been 4 years, know I guess I gotta go
Hit the stage, graduate, and then I just hit the road
Studying art, but I'm working on my business
No distance, could keep me away from Christmas
Back to the future of what happens next
Writing tests, and thinking about life and death
I might progress, meet the girl I might impress
I’ll bring her home soon, as I write this text
I'm thinking

[Hook: The STF Choir & Everett Champion]
I don’t know, where I’m headed
These memories, I won’t forget em
Don’t know my future, with me or you
But when I’m gone, you know what to do
Light that bonfire (bonfire)
Light that bonfire (bonfire)
Light that bonfire (bonfire)
Keep it on fire, on fire
I’ll always need this, when I’m alone
I’ll put it out as soon as I get home

[Verse 2: Everett Champion]
2013, bring it back to the start
No mic, no beats, and a heart
Saw the local scene and wanted to play a part
Cause "Started From The Bottom" was on the top of charts
Had support from my friends, my class was behind me
Looking at Interscope and waiting for them to sign me
Still had braces, still had no patience
Copped a Mac, and starting recording in the basement
Kick it for a minute, grab a record and we'd spin it
I’m focused on my future, but can't forget my beginnings
Me and Mark, we'd would go on Youtube and we'd listen
To all the local guys, RAW Music, Mr. Swift and
Then we’d freestyle about the girls in our class
Damn that time passed, it went by too fast
Back and forth bars, say a line and we'd trade off
But I guess days in the basement, really paid off

[Hook: The STF Choir & Everett Champion]
I don’t know, where I’m headed
These memories, I won’t forget em
Don’t know my future, with me or you
But when I’m gone, you know what to do
Light that bonfire (bonfire)
Light that bonfire (bonfire)
Light that bonfire (bonfire)
Keep it on fire, on fire
I’ll always need this, when I’m alone
I’ll put it out as soon as I get home

[Bridge: Everett Champion]
I wanna move to Kauai, move to Dubai
Set fireworks off from my porch in July
No cubicle, no suit and no tie
Except the ceremony for you and I
Come back to my city, full of wonderful people
And this world is far from being equal
And it feels like the world is a movie
And if you knew me, you know my city is the sequel
I want a wife and a kid
A pool in the back, and a fire and a pit
And some lawn chairs, for when I’m old and can sit
And think back to the times I wouldn’t quit
And I feel like a star ready to shine (shine)
And I feel like my life is finally mine (mine)
I feel like I’m one of a kind (kind)
So light that up like one more time (time)

[Hook: The STF Choir & Everett Champion]
I don’t know, where I’m headed
These memories, I won’t forget em
Don’t know my future, with me or you
But when I’m gone, you know what to do
Light that bonfire (bonfire)
Light that bonfire (bonfire)
Light that bonfire (bonfire)
Keep it on fire, on fire
I’ll always need this, when I’m alone
I’ll put it out as soon as I get home

LUCY
C’mon let’s go! I need something like this tonight, his house is huge, it’s that red brick one on 1st Avenue

THE GIRL
I can’t, I already made plans

LUCY
Ugh, let me guess, it’s with him again isn’t it? I swear you guy are together every night!

THE GIRL
He’s my boyfriend Lucy, but c’mon it’s the summer, there’s a party every night, it almost seems like it’s endless some times

LUCY
Fine, but you’re coming to the next one, promise?

THE GIRL
Promise, I’ll be there...
