Hold your box of matches tight
Keep the firelighters bright
Let it burn and let it feel alright

Share our bruises in the glow
Let the firefighters know
We just want to sit and watch the show
We just want the fire in our bones

We've got this one next

Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go

Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go

Bury me at night, you said
Worms are always underfed
Daylight never seems to wait for me

Share disguises in the yard
Tell the tiger he's a shark
We don't ever want to be apart
We just killed the fear in our hearts

We've got this one next

Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go

Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go

Feed us something we can tolerate
Give us something we can taste
Give us time so we can hibernate
Make the waiting worth the wait

I told you
We grow up to be the soldiers
When everyone gets a little older
It's just a feeling that you want to
Never remember, but we've got this one next

Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go

Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go
Be ready when I say go

Be ready when I say go, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Be ready when I say go, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ready when I say go
