When We Were On Fire

Drifting apart getting harder to hold you
Days getting dark and the nights are growing cold
Are we burning out?
Swept out of sight, rolling out on an ocean
Let's cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment
If our hearts are alive, maybe then they might
Send us back to the sun
Now I know, I know
That we're losing light our love is dying
Out cold on the floor like a fallen star that shines no more
Take, take me back to where it was before
When we were on fire
Head down, heading underground feeling wasted
Cold to the bone, so alone I can taste it
Let's light it up
The streets are alive now and everything's bracing
You're on my mind running in my veins, fueling the flame
Let's start it again
And I know, I know, that we're losing light our love is dying
Out cold on the floor like a fallen star that shines no more
Take, take me back to where it was before
When we were on fire, fire
Oh, oh, oh
Now, don't tell me, no, that we're burning down
Oh, oh, oh
Now, don't tell me, no, that we're burning now
And I know, I know, we're losing light and our love is dying
Take, take me home, back to where it was before
When we were on fire, fire
And I know, I know, that we're losing light, our love is dying
Out cold on the floor like a fallen star that shines no more
Take, take me back to where it was before
When we were on fire, fire
Now I know, I know, we're losing light our love is dying
Take, take me home, back to where it was before
When we were on fire, fire
And I know, I know, we're losing light and our love is dying
Out cold on the floor like a fallen star that shines no more
Take, take me back to where it was before
When we were on fire, fire
