Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why don't you hang up, won't you back up?
Pack up and head for higher ground, yeah
I know you and you know me
Tell me what it is you want it to be
What you want to be, what you need in me
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Skies on fire
Flames burn higher
Skies on fire
Flames get higher
[Verse 3]
I know you, now you know me
Tell me what it is you want it to be
In the rain, in the streets
You're amazed by all the things that you see
Tell me what I see, how it's goin' to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Skies on fire
Flames burn higher
Skies on fire
Flames burn higher
[Verse 5]
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 6]
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
When you look in the sky
(Skies on fire)
Look in the sky
(Flames burn higher)
Skies on fire
Flames burn higher
(Skies on fire)
I know you now know me
(Flames burn higher)
Tell me, what it is you want it to be
(Skies on fire)
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Skies on fire
Ooh
