lyrics

And the night falls
You on my breath
The town we love, ohhhhh
We want a sunset
Give us a sunset
Let’s run for our lives one more time
Run this town to ground up in smoke

The streets are on fire, my love with you (my love with you)
The streets are on fire, the fire in you (the fire in you)

The touch of your smoke because I’m breathing it in
You taking me down, down, down

Count the stars
As we run through the streets
And when Time comes
You’re holding my cheeks
We want a sunset
Give us a sunset
Let’s run for our lives one more time
Run this town to ground up in smoke

The streets are on fire, my love with you (my love with you)
The streets are on fire, the fire in you (the fire in you)
The streets are on fire, my love with you (my love with you)
The streets are on fire, the fire in you (the fire in you)

The touch of your smoke, you taking me down, down, down
The touch of your smoke, you taking me down, down, down
The touch of your smoke, you taking me down, down, down
The touch of your smoke, you taking me down, down, down

The streets are on fire, my love with you (my love with you)
The streets are on fire, the fire in you (the fire in you)
The streets are on fire, my love with you (my love with you)
The streets are on fire, the fire in you (the fire in you)
