I was fire at least once upon a time,
when you pierced me with your gaze,
held our breath as we drove the way back home
And I knew it just like you - how you always seem to know -
how the simplest of things, they mean the world to me
They meant the world to me
If you're leaving me alone, then leave me here alone
If you were waiting for me to understand, you were wrong
I was here all the night
I was here all along
I was fire and you've run cold
I have my days I remember everything -
how your hair it fell 'round your face as we laid down in the grass
I know you feel me still, I can see you in my mind
You are walking by the bay,
finding seashells by the shore to bring them home
Will you ever come home to me?
If you're leaving me alone, then leave me here alone
If you were waiting for me to understand, you were wrong
I was here when you walked out
I was here when you walked on
I was fire
