If you put it out
You might never see the flame again
Lover if you put it out
You might never see the flame again
Gotta let it burn until the end
On its own

We waited for tonight for what felt like days
But everything that burns bright never stays
You were the dawn
That bathed me in peach
And I would come to greet you like the beach to the sun

We waited for July for what felt like years
But anything that moves slow soothes my fears
You were the autumn
That bathed me in gold
I'm a fool that thinks you were a flame I could hold

Every time the day breaks you are
The only one awake the way you are
Every night your lights the brightest star
But I only feed it dark sometimes
