[Verse]

The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips

In slow currents, and I watch as your face is framed in its

Slow currents, drifting curls, a trailing path

A long drag becomes a tress of blue and ash


[Chorus]

If it is born in flames, then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if it’s got to end, then let it end in flames

Let it burn all the way down


[Verse]

The air is visceral around us

Turning in its simple steps on slow currents

And I watch as it pirouettes and spins in slow motion

A long drag becomes a slow dance

In a halo of ember


[Chorus]

If it is born in flames, then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if it’s got to end, then let it end in flames

Let it burn all the way down


[Bridge]

All the way down

And if this is ever meant to end

Then I hope it ends where it began

So hot with love, we burned our hands

If this is ever meant to end

Then I hope it ends where it began

So hot with love, it burns our hands


[Chorus]

If it is born in flames, then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if it's got to end, then let it end in flames

Let it burn

(Let it burn)


[Outro]

If it’s got to end

(Let it burn)

If it’s got to end

(Let it burn)

It ends where it began

So hot with love, it burns our hands
