[Verse 1]
Well I fear I'd never look on you again

We were face to face as the tears put out the flames
And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
[Chorus]
You're like water over fire, like water on fire
You're like water over fire, like water on fire
You're like water over fire, like water on fire
You're like water over fire, like water on fire
