lyrics

Sleeping with my best friend,
this is a terrible idea
Cuz what if this friendship ends?
I always want her to be near
But I can't stop playing with her fire
Pyromaniac at heart
She'll burn me out, I'm already tired
But I'd rather be ablaze than apart

Cuz she's the flame,
that's lifting this hot air balloon,
closer and closer up to the moon,
Yeah she's the flame,
that's every reason I have to blame
for driving this sweet boy insane

I wish she'd see things my way,
Two flames combine and dance as one,
It'll be a beautiful display,
Fireworks under the sun
But she'd rather scorch the whole earth,
Leave me with nothing in the rain
And never admit that we work,
I'll end up smoking away in pain

Cuz she's the flame,
that's lifting this hot air balloon,
closer and closer up to the moon,
Yeah she's the flame,
that's every reason I have to blame
for driving this sweet boy insane

We'll always go down in flames,
Nothing but embers and broken dreams

Cuz she's the flame,
that's lifting this hot air balloon,
closer and closer up to the moon,
Yeah she's the flame,
that's every reason I have to blame
for driving this sweet boy insane
