[Verse 1]
Sunday morning and the lawns all mown
We walked through the Japanese gardens home
You tried to impress me by rolling a smoke
But your hands were shaking and the paper broke

[Pre–Chorus 1]
I played cool and I took a drag
Coughed like the kid on the panadol ad
You just smiled and kicked the dirt
Said, "We're not as cool as we thought we were"

[Verse 2]
On the night that we first kissed
I climbed out the window so I wouldn't be missed
Getting too big for the swings in the park
Passing the lighter in the dark

[Pre-Chorus 2]
As the sun came up we had to leave
You said my name, I could feel you breathe
I walked home in the freezing cold
Heartbeat thumping in my coat

[Chorus]
Fire and iron
Iron and fire
Tears in the water
Water in the wine
[Verse 3]
That awkward winter turned to spring
We learned a million grown up things
Sharing cigarettes under the stars
We laughed and drank and raced your car

[Pre–Chorus 3]
Then one morning right on dawn
You the lost the wheel, you missed the turn
The whole world rolled on top of us
You said my name, but I never woke up again

[Bridge]
Let it go, let it go
Where's the guy I used to know?
The girl I was died years ago, now she's a ghost
Let me go

[Chorus 2]
Fire and iron
Iron and fire
I'm living your life
And you're living mine

[Outro]
Sunday morning and the lawns all mown
You walked through the Japanese gardens home
You look so funny with your kids in tow
You gave up smoking years ago
