Song lyrics

Your mouth is a revolver

Firing bullets in the sky

Your love is like a soldier

Loyal 'til you die

And I've been looking at the stars

For a long, long time

I've been putting out fires

All my life


Everybody wants a flame

They don't want to get burnt

And today is our turn


Days like these lead to

Nights like this lead to

Love like ours

You light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts


This world is getting colder

Strangers passing by

No one offers you a shoulder

No one looks you in the eye

But I've been looking at you

For a long, long time

Just trying to break through

Trying to make you mine


Everybody wants a flame

They don't want to get burnt

Well, today is our turn


Days like these lead to

Nights like this lead to

Love like ours

You light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts


Our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire hearts

You light the spark


People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts


Days like these lead to

Nights like this lead to

Love like ours

You light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts


(Our bonfire hearts)


(Days like these lead to

Nights like this lead to

Love like ours

You light the spark in my bonfire heart)*


People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
