[Verse 1]
I never knew fire could ever burn so long
I've learned a lot from you but lessons still grow old
I've lost the only light that ever guides me home
And when it gets so cold
[Pre-Chorus]
We are like islands lost in the ocean
Caught in the silence without emotion
We are like islands, nothing surrounds me
I'm holding on now and I won't let go
[Chorus]
We close our eyes and dance
Burn to the shape of our heartbeat
So let's burn it out, let's burn it out
Let's burn it to the ground
We close our eyes and dance
Burn to the shape of our heartbeat
So let's burn it out, let's burn it out
Let's burn it to the ground
[Verse 2]
I never thought that we could ever go this far
You are the only one who's ever shared my love
We let the good thing go and then we lost our way
When it gets so cold
[Pre-Chorus]
We are like islands lost in the ocean
Caught in the silence without emotion
We are like islands, nothing surrounds me
I'm holding on now and I won't let go
[Chorus]
We close our eyes and dance
Burn to the shape of our heartbeat
So let's burn it out, let's burn it out
Let's burn it to the ground
We close our eyes and dance
Burn to the shape of our heartbeat
So let's burn it out, let's burn it out
Let's burn it to the ground
[Interlude]
We are, we are, we are
We are like islands
We are, we are, we are
We are like islands
[Bridge]
One night is all we have
And I wanna waste it all on you
So let's burn it out, let's burn it out
Let's burn it to the ground
[Chorus]
We close our eyes and dance
Burn to the shape of our heartbeat
So let's burn it out, let's burn it out
Let's burn it to the ground
We close our eyes and dance
Burn to the shape of our heartbeat
So let's burn it out, let's burn it out
Let's burn it to the ground
