James Francis - Bonfire [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Interlude:

Summer '87
I fell in love with a girl
She was 17
I thought I would marry her
She saved me from drowning in a salty beach
The sun made us golden. golden just like her feet
I must've been too sensitive to the fame
But I wasn't allowed to fight through the pain
But I guess that Bonnie's the one to blame
Welcome to Camp James

Bonfire:

Hook:
I've been writing songs to forget
Everything that you've ever said
And get me high
Coz I realized I'm the type of guy who cries

Maybe maybe
The bullet in the gun will jam
And I won't kill myself

I said, maybe maybe
The words in my stories
Will make you smile
And I can be myself

But get me high first
Please, get me high first

Verse:
Everybody wants to shake my hands
Taking pictures with famous bands
I'm making all this money
But It doesn't mean shit
Guaranteed; you never even heard Bonnie

I'm making all this money
But it doesn't mean shit
Guaranteed; you never even heard Bonnie

Hook:
I've been writing songs to forget
Everything that you've ever said
And get me high
Coz I realized I'm the type of guy who cries

Maybe maybe
The bullet in the gun will jam
And I won't kill myself

I said, maybe maybe
The words in my stories
Will make you smile
And I can be myself

But get me high first
Please, get me high first

Bridge:
Waiting for you felt like it would be easy, but it's so hard (2x)

Hook:
I've been writing songs to forget
Everything that you've ever said
And get me high
Coz I realized I'm the type of guy who cries

Maybe maybe
The bullet in the gun will jam
And I won't kill myself

I said, maybe maybe
The words in my stories
Will make you smile
And I can be myself

But get me high first
Please, get me high first

Waiting for you felt like it would be easy, but it's so hard (2x)
