[Verse 1]
I need big dreams in city streets and bright lights
Cause this seems to make me feel alright
And I want this one and I can take
And I can feel myself from the brick about to break

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'll be lost and alone
And I'm scared to fall on my own
I need hope or control, but something's pulling me in

[Chorus]
It needs to hurt so we could work
And I need fire, so I can burn
And I need love, so I can learn
I'm just a boy with the world
At my feet you'll find a girl
Telling me to not get hurt, telling me but I won't learn
Cause I want you and nothing can stop this
So let's sit and watch this burn
And as it ends up in ashes, we sit and laugh, yeah
We sit and watch this burn

[Verse 2]
I need your heart in both hands
And my plans are to make you feel alright
And you want it all in good time
And I get it that you've been hurt before, no
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ll be lost and alone
And I'm scared to fall on my own

[Chorus]
It needs to hurt so we could work
And I need fire, so I can burn
And I need love, so I can learn
I'm just a boy with the world
At my feet you'll find a girl
Telling me to not get hurt, telling me but I won't learn
Cause I want you and nothing can stop this
So let's sit and watch this burn
And as it ends up in ashes, we sit and laugh, yeah
We sit and watch this burn

[Bridge]
When the world gets quiet, I'll scream your name
And when your lungs get tired, the air will breathe the same
Don't forget me, let me ease your pain
Yeah, every heart is breaking, don't let it slip away

[Chorus]
It needs to hurt so we could work
And I need fire, so I can burn
I need love, so I can learn
Burn, cause I want you and nothing can stop this
So let's sit and watch this burn
And as it ends up in ashes, we sit and laugh, yeah
We sit and watch this burn
[Outro]
And I won't learn
Cause I want you and nothing can stop this
So let's sit and watch this burn
And as it ends up in ashes, we sit and laugh, yeah
We sit and watch this burn
