Yeah you hold on to our love and you know that I won’t look back
Where did everything go? I can’t remember our dreams or all the things you said
If I knew it all then, I wonder if I’d do it differently, boy
If I could take it all back, I would do it in a heartbeat, baby
And what will it mean?
Looking back, will you wish you’d let it take you over?
How would I know now?
If I had only been about five years older
Yeah if I could hold on right now, would you love again?
But every face that you see will turn to ashes in the end
I know your heart’s on fire, yeah you don’t want nobody
You say you’re burnin' up, burnin' up
But when you got no one and you can't get any higher
You’ll see you’re burnin' up, burnin' up
Boy your heart’s on fire the way you doubt everybody
I see you’re burnin' up, burnin' up
But when you got no one and when you’re down to the wire
You’ll see you’re burnin' up, you're burnin' up
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
When there’s no way that they’re gon’ stay
Yeah it’s time to move past it
When there’s no pain and it’s all dead
No time to look back, babe
But when there’s no way in and there’s no way out
Then there’s no way
Well I think it’s time to go, babe, what do I know?
Maybe nothing, no
And what will it mean?
Looking back, will you wish you’d let it take you over?
How would I know now?
If I had only been about five years older
Yeah if I could hold on right now, would you love again?
But every face that you see will turn to ashes in the end
I know your heart’s on fire, yeah you don’t want nobody
You say you’re burnin' up, burnin' up
But when you got no one and you can't get any higher
You’ll see you’re burnin' up, burnin' up
Boy your heart’s on fire the way you doubt everybody
I see you’re burnin' up, burnin' up
But when you got no one and when you’re down to the wire
You’ll see you’re burnin' up, you're burnin' up
I know your heart’s on fire, yeah you don’t want nobody
You say you’re burnin' up, burnin' up
But when you got no one and you can't get any higher
You’ll see you’re burnin' up, burnin' up
Boy your heart’s on fire the way you doubt everybody
I see you’re burnin' up, burnin' up
But when you got no one and when you’re down to the wire
You’ll see you’re burnin' up, you're burnin' up
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Well you know it's gonna burn
Burn, burn, burn
