Lyrics[]
[Verse 1: Dani]
Right there on the sidewalk, we met after dark
Your friend gave you a ride, you step out of his car
The moon lit up the street, it was the middle of July
But it was cold like November that night
You're looking right at me and I'm looking away
You're telling me everything, I'm too scared to say
You say my eyes are like something
That you have never seen before
And I can't help but fall
[Pre-Chorus 1: Amy]
And I know that I'm so far gone
I'm so gone right now
He knows I'm down and he'll knock me out
Just one more look and he'll burn me down
He'll burn me down
[Chorus: Christina and Lisa]
With our hearts on fire
We lit up the night, left our fears behind
Running for our lives, like we never die
And it felt like magic, but I knew I couldn't have it
We were just so close, it's tragic
We could feel the burn of our hearts on fire
Our hearts on fire
[Verse 2: Katherine]
I can't even breathe, you're like a shooting star
I know you could burn out, but I can't see that far
Get a little closer and the sparks shine in your eyes
I don't stand a chance
[Pre-Chorus 2: Amy]
And I know it's a long way down
But I'm holding on
You flash that smile, my heart's giving out
There's no way I can forget you now
Forget you now
[Chorus: Christina and Lisa]
With our hearts on fire
We lit up the night, left our fears behind
Running for our lives, like we never die
And it felt like magic, but I knew I couldn't have it
We were just so close, it's tragic
We could feel the burn of our hearts on fire
Our hearts on fire
[Bridge: Lauren]
He was freedom, he was magic
I was on fire, it was tragic
Had my walls up, but he broke me down
And the sparks fly all around
And the sparks fly all around
[Chorus: Lisa]
With our hearts on fire
We lit up the night, left our fears behind
Running for our lives, like we never die
