[Verse 1]

Old flame, it's always the old way

When did it get so darn cold?

You're so seasonal

You flickered and swayed

Each time the winter soul came

I remember gold days

Under love's warm haze


[Chorus]

Old flame, still the one that holds me

Can't you feel it burning?

Can't you feel it burning still?

Old flame, fell for your inferno

Where did all the love go?

Can't you feel the wind blow you closer to me?


[Verse 2]

I went by your house today

When'd you get so hollow?

So closed, so overgrown?

I flicker and sway

Still dancing on the aftertaste

I remember gold days

Wrapped up in the warmth we made


[Chorus]

Old flame, still the one that holds me

Can't you feel it burning?

Can't you feel it burning still?

Old flame, fell for your inferno

Where did all the love go?

Can't you feel the wind blow


[Verse 3]

Smoke skies, colors and cloud nines

Circles and straight lines and drowned eyes

(There's something in the air)

From such heights, I fell into Fahrenheit

And time only fuels the desire

(There's something in the air)


[Bridge]

It's always the old way

When'd it get so darn cold?

You're so seasonal


[Hook]

Old flame, burning

Burning still

Old flame, inferno

Where did all the love go?


[Outro]

Someone's been sleeping downstairs

Someone's been sleeping downstairs
