  • Drifting apart, getting harder to hold you
    Days getting dark and the nights are growing cold
    Are we burning out?
    Swept out of sight, rolling up on an ocean
    Let's cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment
    If our hearts are alive, maybe then they might
    Send us back to the sun

    Now I know, I know
    We're losing light, our love is dying
    Out cold on the floor
    Like a fallen star that shines no more
    Take, take me back to where it was before
    When we were on fire, fire

    Head down, heading underground feeling wasted
    Cold to the bone, so alone I can taste it
    Let's light it up
    Streets are alive now, and everything's bracing
    You're on my mind, running in my veins fueling the flame
    Let's start it again

    And I know, I know
    We're losing light, our love is dying
    Out cold on the floor
    Like a fallen star that shines no more
    Take, take me back to where it was before
    When we were on fire, fire
    We were on fire, fire

    (Whoa, whoa, whoa) Now don't tell me no
    Then we're burning down (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
    (Whoa, whoa, whoa) And don't tell me no
    Then we're burning now (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

    'Cause I know, I know
    We're losing light and our love is dying
    Take, take me home
    Back to where it was before
    When we were on fire, fire
    No I know, I know
    We're losing light, our love is dying
    Out cold on the floor
    Like a fallen star that shines no more
    Take, take me back to where it was before
    When we were on fire, fire
    We were on fire, fire. Writer/s: James Michael Bay, Jonathan Ian Green
