Speeding Up the Octaves Lyrics

Just light the match and run
Run from all those times
She poured gasoline, by fires’ light she cried
She cried all night salt from her tears
Rusted shut her eyes
She should have shut her eyes

Turn off the lights
Blow out the candles tonight
Romance this chance to set angels to flight
Before they die

I'll take this ink from my arms and write your name in the sky
Please don't use my letters to start your fires this time
Your fire this time
This time
Your fire this time
This time

Please drive faster
Faster than the light
Erase her embrace
Erase it from your mind
Let this die

I'll take this ink from my arms and write your name in the sky
please don't use my letters to start your fires this time

Remember oceans like times together
Across these oceans I sent my letters
I sent these letters to you

Remember oceans and time together in your eyes
Remember starting your fires off my eyes
Remember these oceans
Like fires off your eyes
Remember these oceans
Like fires off your eyes

To me, this song is about moving on. He wants to move on and leave her as a memory and she can't accept that. To me, the fires respresent her anger and can be rumors that she has spread to try and get even. And the end is just a way of saying, "We had some good times and let those memories stay with you forever."
