[Verse 1]

We could blame it on the moon

She's our go-to scapegoat

Or all the foreign teas

All my midnight caffeine

Your head vibrates on my chest

And it scares you

And that scares me

Said I should take a walk

Have a talk with myself

"What'd he say?

You don't speak much as of late

And you do a good job of doing bad things"

How your hands shake

When they aren't on me

[Chorus]

Because the world's on fire, but it's not

And what sent me higher has stopped

You're the only thing keeping me off

The night's as dark as my mind

But you find me

[Verse 2]

You used to love dancing

Untangled me onto the floor

Now our blood's only hot in the summer

And summer's but a dream

Yeah, it's gone like the stars

That fell the night, you said:

"I love you, baby, you make me the worst I'll ever be"

Then you cried and sighed for effect, but I'm silent

[Chorus]

Because the world's on fire, but it's not

And what sent me higher has stopped

You're the only thing keeping me off

The night's as dark as my mind

But you find me

Dying slowly every morning

Oh, the violence keeps me going

When I'm sober but I've never felt so high

When you find me with caffeine

[Outro]

Because the world's on fire

But I'll breathe the smoke with you

And once my blood slows, oh, if my blood slows
