I know you're bad news, but it's bad news I like reading
and you'd be a work of art but you work so hard not to be
if you paint, I'll sing and we'll make this place a gallery
who cares what the critics say they'll never change who we're meant to be
So don't try and tell me different
Call me crazy but it's never gonna change for you
You are my house on fire
You are the smell before it rains
You are the trouble we could get into, if you'd only just stay
You are my 3am escape
You are my Konstantine
You were the best part of this town and every song just reminds me
I know I'm hopeless but I'm hoping you're the one to save me
so stop overthinking things, I was thinking would be better if you stopped and realise
That this is crazy but it's never gonna change for you
You are my house on fire
You are the smell before it rains
You are the trouble we could get into, if you'd only just stay
You are my 3am escape
You are my Konstantine
You were the best part of this town and every song just reminds me
You keep me guessing and I hate that, you play my heart like a mixtape
You got me running on repeat now, you play my heart like a mixtape
You keep on skipping and I hate that, you play my heart like a mixtape
You got my running on repeat now, you got me running on repeat now

'I know that we're just kids but we've made some bad mistakes.
You & I are the kind of trouble the papers always love
and they'll cry when we end up dead.
She necked her drink and said 'I'm sick of never trying,
I'm sick of fucking around and if we're ever gonna make it
we've gotta up and leave this town.
'If you're gonna sing, sing it with soul' she said
'and if you're gonna love, love with no regrets
but if we're gonna run, lets do it now caus I've been waiting all my life for the one'
'To die's a big adventure and we're the true lost boys.
But if we're never gonna grow up, I suggest it's best we cover all the rules we're to employ.'
She grabbed her coat and stood.
She slipped her words and slurred as she walked for the door.
'If you're gonna sing, sing it with soul' she said
'and if you're gonna love, love with no regrets
but if we're gonna run, lets do it now caus I've been waiting all my life for the one'
and you know I'll always remember how you looked out there in the moonlight
how we knew it was right, how we felt so alive, we were where we were meant to be.
'If you're gonna sing, sing it with soul' she said
'and if you're gonna love, love with no regrets
but if we're gonna run, lets do it now caus I've been waiting all my life for the one who'll never hold me down'
'If you're gonna sing, sing it with soul' she said
'and if you're gonna love, love with no regrets
but if we're gonna run, lets do it now caus I've been waiting all my life for you'

I've been struggling with sleep. I find it hard to close my eyes,
Pretending it was all a dream.
Set sail with your ghost. I don't believe that you were ever here,
The coldest place I've ever been.
But I found out what it's like to be with someone who took away my dark,
And have it all sussed out and concrete in the empty space inside my head.
But now it's all messed up. The butterflies are now a pain up in my chest.
If this is what it's like to live then I wish I was dead.
I lost my faith some time ago,
I may as well be stranded out at sea where the only thing left to do is sink.
But I swear to god I've never loved like this before,
so how typical it was of me to be all in when you cut and run.
