Lyrics: The Bluetones. Putting Out Fires.

If we put our heads together I think we could salvage it.
If we ride the stormy weather will we really benefit?
Is there anything left to say now, anyway?

When you're near my heart beats quicker, faster.
It's your skin as pale as alabaster.
It has to be, it has to end.
Losing a lover, gaining a friend.

Yesterday, your virtue inspired me.
And yesterday you ignited the flames that burnt inside of me.
So why when I wake up today are the ashes about us?
Now I've lost the strength to crush a flower.
And now I grow weaker with the passing hours.
You once was the fire, you once was the glow.
I was so sure then.
And now I don't know.

I've wasted time away.
But I think that it's okay, 'cause I've wasted time away with you.

Now look what we've built together.
We didn't waste anything.
We've built a fire that burns too strong to die.
Or am I a liar who smothers the flames?

When you're near my heart beats quicker, faster.
It's your skin as pale as alabaster.
It has to be, it has to end.
Losing a lover, lying to a friend.

I've wasted time away.
But I think that it's okay, 'cause I've wasted time away with you.
I've wasted time away.
But I think that it's okay, 'cause I've wasted time away with you.
