You can see that you're being surrounded From every direction And love was just something you found To add to your collection It used to seem we were number one But now it sounds so far away I had a dream we were running from Some blazing arrows yesterday You said, fight fire with fire Fire with fire Fire with fire Through desire, desire -sire, desire Through your desire Now the city blacks out the sun That you know is rising You can show me the work that you've done Your fears have been disguising Is it just me or is everyone Hiding out between the lines What will we be when we come undone Just a simple meeting of the minds? And we'll fight fire with fire Fire with fire Fire with fire Through desire, desire -sire, desire Through your desire We'll fight fire with fire Fire with fire Fire with fire Through desire, desire -sire, desire Through your desire Underneath your skies There's a million lights Burning brightly just like fireflies It's cold and heaven surrounds you from every direction Cause there's someone behind every hand That you've made a connection And now we're free to be number one The morning isn't far away I had a dream we were holding on And tomorrow has become today, become today And we'll fight fire with fire Fire with fire Fire with fire Through desire, desire -sire, desire Through your desire We'll fight fire with fire Fire with fire Fire with fire Through desire, desire -sire, desire Through your desire
