  • VERSE 1
    Ivy climbs the walls and nestles in the brick
    Sparrow builds a nest above the front door
    The newest heartache’s on the radio again
    No one’s listening anymore

    VERSE 2
    On Independence Day, driving through the hills
    We were on our way to Bozeman
    The reds and blues of fireworks in backyards lit the sky
    We were so much greener then

    PRE-CHORUS
    Who knew we were drunk on borrowed time?

    CHORUS
    Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
    Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
    Waiting on a wildfire?

    VERSE 3
    In late September, we’d just moved into town
    We were on a mission lost and broke
    Just as all the pieces started falling into place
    All our plans went up in smoke

    PRE-CHORUS
    Who knew we were drunk on borrowed time?

    CHORUS
    Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
    Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
    Waiting on a wildfire?

    VERSE 4
    Ivy climbs the walls and nestles in the brick
    Sparrow builds a nest above the front door
    Over time the wildflowers find a way to bloom
    Where only ashes were before

    PRE-CHORUS
    Who knew we were drunk on borrowed time?

    CHORUS
    Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
    Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
    Waiting on a wildfire, who knew we were
    Waiting on a wildfire? Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
