From Friends To Fire

"From Friends to Fire" (©CHRIS@ASTI@2013) (Soft piano intro, slow beat comes in) [Verse 1] We started out just talkin’, two souls on the edge of night, Coffee cups and laughter, no agenda, no fight. I told you ‘bout my demons, you smiled and said, “I’ve met mine too,” We found comfort in the silence, where only truth could come through. You were my peace in the noise, my calm in the rain, We shared little secrets, scars we couldn’t explain. Every text at 2 a.m., every look that we shared, Built a bridge from the broken to a place where we cared. [Hook] (melodic female vocal) From friends to fire, we crossed the line, Two hearts caught in the hands of time. Didn’t mean to fall, but the fall felt right, We were shadows turning into light. From friends to fire, no turning back, We found love in the spaces that we lacked. Every laugh, every tear, every spark we inspire, We went from friends… to fire. --- [Verse 2] I remember the first touch, accidental, unplanned, You laughed, but your eyes told a story I could barely stand. You said, “We can’t mess this up, what if it breaks the trust?” But love don’t care ‘bout logic, it’s hunger, it’s dust. We danced around feelings like kids chasing stars, Afraid to admit how deep the wounds really are. You knew my pain, I knew your fears, We found love in between the tears. Nights got longer, talks got deep, Dreams and promises we tried to keep. You said, “I don’t want to lose my best friend,” I said, “What if this is where it’s meant to end?” Not the friendship, but the waiting, Not the fear, but the hesitating. ‘Cause what we had was already more, A quiet flame behind a door. --- [Hook] (soulful harmonies) From friends to fire, we crossed the line, Two hearts caught in the hands of time. Didn’t mean to fall, but the fall felt right, We were shadows turning into light. From friends to fire, no turning back, We found love in the spaces that we lacked. Every laugh, every tear, every spark we inspire, We went from friends… to fire. --- [Bridge – spoken word / soft rap] You held me when the world fell apart, When I couldn’t breathe, you became my heart. You didn’t fix me, you just stayed, And somehow the pain slowly decayed. We built something pure, slow, divine, A love that whispered, “You’re already mine.” No fairytales, no fake disguise, Just truth reflected in your eyes. Now the line’s erased between love and trust, We’re no longer two, we’re both of us. The friendship grew roots, the love took flight, Now we’re living what we used to write. --- [Verse 3] Now when you laugh, my chest gets tight, Every word feels like candlelight. We built a world out of fragile things, But love’s a bird that learns to sing. I still call you my friend, but it feels too small, ‘Cause you’re the echo inside every wall. You’re the calm in my storm, the peace in my mess, The answer I didn’t know how to confess. So here we stand, no masks, no shame, Two souls, one heartbeat, one name. You said, “We might lose what we had before,” I said, “Then let’s risk it, I want more.” ‘Cause love ain’t safe, it’s wild, it’s free, It’s the moment you looked at me. --- [Hook – final version, layered vocals + rap undercurrent] From friends to fire, we crossed the line, Two hearts caught in the hands of time. Didn’t mean to fall, but the fall felt right, We were shadows turning into light. From friends to fire, no turning back, We found love in the spaces that we lacked. Every laugh, every tear, every spark we inspire, We went from friends… to fire. --- [Outro – slow spoken outro / heartbeat fading] Maybe that’s how it’s meant to be — Love growing quietly in the soil of honesty. Not rushed, not forced, not fake, Just two broken hearts learning how to awake. And now when I look in your eyes, I don’t see a friend… I see home.
