We call them cool Those hearts that have no scars to show The ones that never do let go And risk it the tables being turned
We call them fools Who have to dance within the flame Who chance the sorrow and the shame That always come with getting burned
But you got to be tough when consumed by desire 'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire We call them strong Those who can face this world alone Who seem to get by on their own Those who will never take the fall
We call them weak Who are unable to resist The slightest chance love might exist And for that forsake it all
They're so hell bent on giving, walking a wire Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire
Chorus: Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning Deep in my soul Constantly yearning to get out of control Wanting to fly hiher and higher I can't abide standing outside the fire
