Turning on the TV, a man dressed in black says
The tensions and waters are rising
Happiness is treason, fiction is fact
And a storm's always on the horizon

I hear the alarms, but here in your arms
Seems like a fine place to die

The world's on fire, I burn
Happily dancing with you
Take my body and I'll be
The soul you come crashing into
If it has to be the end
All I ask is that I get
To burn with you
To burn with you

Love me like a scandal, wreck me like a wave
Take me back to the place I remember
We could light a candle, put a record on
Till we turn into ashes and embers

I hear the alarms, but here in your arms
Seems like a fine place to die

The world's on fire, I burn
Happily dancing with you
Take my body and I'll be
The soul you come crashing into
If it has to be the end
All I ask is that I get
To burn with you
To burn with you

Breathe me in, breathe me out
Till the walls come crumbling down
Pull me close, love me now
Till there's nothing left of this town
Breathe me in, breathe me out
Till the walls come crumbling down
Pull me close, love me now, love me now

The world's on fire, I burn
Happily dancing with you
Take my body, and I'll be
The soul you come crashing into
If it has to be the end
All I ask is that I get
To burn with you
To burn with you
