They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest
Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced
Kept each other from our plans but the fact is
Thought it would go farther than the time that we lasted
We used to settle in the parking lot, play our games and call the shots
Getting caught by our parents was nothing but an afterthought
Don't explain to them why we are acting like the astronauts
Never would they learn the meaning of the dreams that we sought
Shatter the clock for rushing what was
A shot for every day we started running from us
A thousand second chances we got when we jumped the gun
A smile and a wave to hide the fact I'm coughing up blood
Both of us waiting to see who'll pull the trigger
Who would finally take care of that itch on our fingers, yeah
What did you do to me?
What did you-- what'd you do?
They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest
Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced
Kept each other from our plans but the fact is
Thought it would go farther than the time that we lasted
We used to play around when we were bored
Act out the movies we turned on but eventually ignored
Smooth talkers on the couch but unbreakable of course
Our friends sometimes got sick of our little scores
We used to speak in our own made-up language and some
Before the words bounced off your tongue I knew what was about to come
We'd blast the aux and all our worries would turn to none
That was when we were younger, under the lights we had hung
But then the talks turned so cryptic, the indifference consistent
My mind fired stories up ballistic, burning the specifics
Started turning me into this unrelenting cynic
Never wanted this, you never wanted to hear it
Now I've been drowning in songs that tell me what should've been
I wish I couldn't read your thoughts from the slight of your grin
You say we're cool but we're still playing this game, it's just our way
But this time the sparks have left your name
They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest
Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced
Kept each other from our plans but the fact is
Thought it would go farther than the time that we lasted
(I don't know what you want from me
I thought that you'd help me see
I don't know what you want from me
I put faith to a face)
But now I don't know what to believe
I don't know what I want to believe
And I dreamed about you in my arms and how
Nothing could bring us down -- your name's the only sound
I ever wanted to hear
But we lost control I fear
We fell in love with the ideas, our real selves eclipsed
For a bit we were the myth on everybody's lips
Now I know I'm only chasing a ghost
Know I need to let you go
Cause you know
(No, no)
They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest
Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced
Kept each other from our plans but the fact is
Thought it would go farther than the time that we lasted
They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest
Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced
Kept each other from our plans but the fact is
The love is nothing any more but in the past tense
