Words & Fire Lyrics


These words don't come easy
They spit from my lips
Then we never had it easy
It slipped from our fingertipsWhen we met, you laughed at me
And stole my last cigarette
Said you wanted to share a past with me
Tomorrow's the day to forget
And you saidJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onNow I've come unhinged
I'm a door in a frame
Well, I'm never quite closed
But I ain't open to changeSo my knuckles are bruised
From knocking on wood
Well, it's a trick that I've used
Perhaps more than I should
And I saidJust give me a reason

To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onCause a heart is just a heart
It can break and fall apart
It can bleed and stop and start
Cause a heart is just a heartMix your words with fire
I'll let them burn me down
Let them ring in the air
Like the bells of an old mining townJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
I just want a reason
To carry on, to carry on

Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears, but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

In 2000 Roberts began his solo career by independently releasing his first studio album, Brother Down. The album was largely unsuccessful but the title track would later go on to be re-recorded and re-released on a six-song EP titled The Inhuman Condition. The EP sold slowly at first, but by the summer of 2002 Roberts was all over the Canadian airwaves: his first single "Brother Down" had become one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year, and the follow up single "Don't Walk Away Eileen" quickly followed suit.

Roberts then signed to Universal Music, releasing his full-length debut, We Were Born In A Flame, in 2003. That album's singles, "Where Have All the Good People Gone?", "Hard Road", "Brother Down" and "Don't Walk Away Eileen", became major hits, especially in Canada.

The band's album Chemical City, produced with Joseph Donovan and released on April 11, 2006, got major radio play in Canada after its release, especially the single "The Gate".

The band's latest release, the album Love at the End of the World (May 20, 2008), included the song "Them Kids", which reached #1 on the Canadian indie chart (the R3-30), and also #1 on CFNY's Thursday 30 chart.
