city on fire

Nights stretch to dawn again

I'm blaming my addiction

She's parading under my skin disguised in heartbeats

As calm as I can be

I count in intervals of breathing

Don't know if I'll ever sleep when it's all night

My head in the clouds

You and I light the city on fire

Ashes rise, apologize

That our time ticks in trials

Will it drive you away

Will you stay by my side? (no, no, no-no)

Glass lips are radiating

Every word is heaven-sent

I mistake that your embrace hides your goodbye

My fears, they best me at times (sometimes)

I evaporate and fill the depths of my mind

My head in the clouds

You and I light the city on fire

Ashes rise, apologize

That our time ticks in trials

Will it drive you away

Will you stay by my side? (no, no)

My head in the clouds

You and I light the city on fire

Ashes rise, apologize

That our time ticks in trials

Will I drive you away

Will you stay by my side? (oh, no, ohh)

(Hm, hmm)

Summer's end, my chest a heatwave in this two-seat

Your reflection's blending misty-eyed glow

Dew-filled, stardust freckles (freckles, hey-yeah)

Body froze, my mind replays automatic

New days of me not here

Your stars all aligned, my hands holding no tears

I know that you're brave, I get so scared (oh, huh, ay-yeah)

Images in head

Eyes of innocence leaving to dark (uh-ooh-ah, oh-ohh)

I must be the reason you keep sinking in

My head in the clouds

You and I light the city on fire

Ashes rise, apologize

That our time ticks in trials

Will it drive you away

Will you stay by my side? (no, no, no-no)
