Some Kind of Spark Lyrics

Some kind of spark
To burn down your house
Run to the hills
Live somewhere else

What kind of storm
Could flood a town
From where we are here
We can only look down

I don't care why you're here
I'll unlock the door
Pull you near

I don't care where you've been
Keep the bandages on
Making you clean
Keep you clean
Waaaahhhhhhh

You watch from the hills
It burned to the ground
And left to yourself
You make no sound
If we close our eyes and count to ten
This will disappear and begin again

I don't care why you're here
I'll unlock the door
Pull you near

I won't tell them what you've seen
Keep the bandages on
Making you clean
Keep you clean
Waaaahhhhhhh

I don't care why you're here
I'll unlock the door
Pull you near

I won't tell them where you've been
Keep the bandages on
Making you clean
Keep you clean
Waaaahhhhhhh

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Gosh, no comments. Well, I guess I'm honoured to be the first one to write in for such a great song. Lovely drum beat in the verses.

This song is lovely... I feel like it's about someone who lost there house to a fire? Maybe to a war... but I think more just a fire, losing their whole life, all their possessions. But I feel like he is singing as maybe a friend or lover that the person ends up with after the fire, after they return from the hospital. This line gets me every time:

"I don't care why you're here I'll unlock the door Pull you near"

The idea that he doesn't care why they are there, he is happy to have them & gives them a hug upon seeing them. I think that visual is just perfect.
