Putting Out Fires Lyrics - Expecting To Fly - The Bluetones

If we put our heads together, I think we can salvage it 

If we ride the stormy weather, will we really benefit? 

Is there anything left to save 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 ok '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 ok 'cause, 

I've wasted time away with you
