[05:21.00](Verse 1)We were gasoline and a single spark
[05:21.00]Lighting up the corners of the lonely dark
[05:21.00]I thought the heat was just the way we loved
[05:21.00]A gift from the heavens or the stars above
[05:21.00]But I didn't see the smoke starting to rise
[05:21.00]Or the way the reflection looked in your eyes.
[05:21.00](Pre-Chorus)
[05:21.00]We built a home out of cedar and pine
[05:21.00]But we forgot to draw a safety line
[05:21.00]Now the walls are thin and the air is dry
[05:21.00]And I’m watching our history go up to the sky.
[05:21.00](Chorus)
[05:21.00]we’re just hearts on fire, burning too bright
[05:21.00]Turning into ashes in the middle of the night
[05:21.00]We thought the flame would keep us from the cold
[05:21.00]But it’s consuming every story that we told
[05:21.00]I’m reaching through the embers just to find your hand
[05:21.00]But there’s nothing left but black on the land
[05:21.00]Yeah, it’s beautiful and cruel, how the wire
[05:21.00]Leaves us standing here with hearts on fire.
[05:21.00](Verse 2)I tried to douse the flames with my own tears
[05:21.00]But the fire’s been fed by all our hidden fears
[05:21.00]Every sharp word was a log on the pile
[05:21.00]Every"I’m fine" with a hollow smile
[05:21.00]Now I’m standing in the wreckage of the living room
[05:21.00]Watching the orange glow seal our doom.
[05:21.00](Pre-Chorus)
[05:21.00]We built a home out of cedar and pine
[05:21.00]But we forgot to draw a safety line
[05:21.00]Now the walls are thin and the air is dry
[05:21.00]And I’m watching our history go up to the sky.
[05:21.00](Chorus)
[05:21.00]we’re just hearts on fire, burning too bright
[05:21.00]Turning into ashes in the middle of the night
[05:21.00]We thought the flame would keep us from the cold
[05:21.00]But it’s consuming every story that we told
[05:21.00]I’m reaching through the embers just to find your hand
[05:21.00]But there’s nothing left but black on the land
[05:21.00]Yeah, it’s beautiful and cruel, how the wire
[05:21.00]Leaves us standing here with hearts on fire.
[05:21.00](Bridge)
[05:21.00]Don’t try to save the pictures on the wall
[05:21.00]Let the ceiling crumble, let the rafters fall
[05:21.00]Some things are meant to burn to the ground
[05:21.00]So the silence can finally make a sound
[05:21.00]Yeah, we were hearts on fire, burning too bright
[05:21.00]Now we’re just shadows in the morning light
[05:21.00]We thought the flame would keep us from the cold
[05:21.00]But it’s consuming every story that we told
[05:21.00]I’m reaching through the embers just to find your hand
[05:21.00]But there’s nothing left but black on the land
[05:21.00]Yeah, it’s beautiful and cruel, how the wire
[05:21.00]Leaves us standing here with hearts on fire.
[05:21.00](Outro)
[05:21.00]Hearts on fire.
[05:21.00]Just a flicker in the distance now.
[05:21.00]Hearts on fire.
[05:21.00]I’m walking away through the smoke.
[05:21.00]Hearts on fire..
