Vance Joy – Fire and the flood (testo)

“I was only walking through your neighborhood
saw your light on, honey; in the cold I stood
anywhere I go there you are
anywhere I go there you are

I been getting used to waking up with you
I been getting used to waking up here
anywhere I go there you are
anywhere I go there you are

There you are
there you are

You’re the fire and the flood
and I’ll always feel you in my blood
everything is fine
when your head’s resting next to mine
next to mine
you’re the fire and the flood

Since we met I feel a lightness in my step
you’re miles away but I still feel you
anywhere I go there you are
anywhere I go there you are
late at night when you can’t fall asleep
I’ll be lying right beside you counting sheep
anywhere I go there you are
anywhere I go there you are

There you are
there you are

You’re the fire and the flood
and I’ll always feel you in my blood
everything is fine
when your head’s resting next to mine
next to mine
you’re the fire and the flood

Now listen here she said
boy when you know you’ll know
and I know

You’re the fire and the flood
and I’ll always feel you in my blood
everything is fine
when your head’s resting next to mine
next to mine
you’re the fire and the flood”.

“Fire and the Flood is a single by Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy, the song is included on the deluxe edition of his debut studio album Dream Your Life Away (2014). The song was released on 24 July 2015 and tops the ARIA chart for Aussie artists on the Australian Singles Chart. Joy wrote the song in February 2015 and recorded it in Los Angeles. Joy explains: “There was a couple of moments when the song started coming together. I wrote this guitar riff that ended up being the line that the horns play and just a few lyrics that were rolling around in my head… When we were recording it, it feels like an epic song so we may as well treat it that way”. The video was directed by Hayley Young and released on 22 July 2015. The video features Joy staring down the barrel of the camera while some dramatic scenes unfold in the background. The song was used in the trailer for the movie The Space Between Us. The song was used in the final delivery sequence in the movie Storks“.
