Lyrics
Ooh, Lets's leave this town
and burn it down again. (Oh)
Can you feel the heat?
Let's make like the wind (blow)
and We'll follow the streets lights
Look they're burning bright, my love.
and We won't stop 'til the sun is Shining.
Now I see it could be me, but I'm over it.
Fire let it burn.
Don't let me do it. Don't put me through it again.
Don't let me do this. Don't put me through it again.
Ooh, the time has come
and we need to go. (Go)
Ooh, but running wild
never gets to old (never gets too old)
I can see us flying down the road unto nowhere,
But it's a risk I feel like taking.
Now I see it could be me
but I'm over it.
Set Fire. Let them burn.
Don't let me do it. Don't put me through it again.
Don't let me do this. Don't put me through it again.
Don't let me do it. Don't put me through it again.
Don't let us do this. Don't put us through it again.
Now I see it could be me but I'm over it.
I believe that we can beat what we're going through.
Set Fire. Let them Burn.
Don't let me do it. Don't put me through it again.
Don't let us do this. Don't put us through it again.
