Hearts on Fire

Keep coming up for air, just keep trying
Just keep breathing, we’re all dying
And you’re not the only one tonight
We are hearts on fire
We are souls on our knees
We are dreams of tomorrow
We are learning to breathe
Sometimes it’s so hard
Sometimes we have to bleed
Sometimes there’s only one shot
And sometimes that’s all we need

We can’t see the stars for the city lights
We don’t know if it’s wrong because it feels so right
Life at these speeds makes everything a blur
But nothing’s really fair about love and war
And I’m always saying that none of this is real
But the tears in your eyes taught me to feel

There’s got to be a reason the embers won’t fade
I hope that your heart will be a supernova someday
But if this spark won’t ignite us we’ll never fly
If lyrics were spaceships I’d write you the sky
Hold on to roses and comets and rain
Poets and liars, we’ll take away your pain

Keep coming up for air, just keep trying
Just keep breathing, we’re all dying
And you’re not the only one tonight
We are hearts on fire
We are souls on our knees
We are dreams of tomorrow
We are learning to breathe
Sometimes it’s so hard
Sometimes we have to bleed
Sometimes there’s only one shot
And sometimes that’s all we need

It’s all right to get lost in the crowds
It’s perfectly fine to live for here and now
It’s perfectly normal if you’re not all right
So long as you remember to keep up the fight
Because we are a people who sing for our souls
Sing for the starlight and candles to hold

Sing for the funeral dirge of the past
Our voices might rewrite a future that lasts
This is a burning bridge that I’m jumping from
When the sun comes up, we’re still alive, still young
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down
One blaze of glory will burn this town

Keep coming up for air, just keep trying
Just keep breathing, we’re all dying
And you’re not the only one tonight
We are hearts on fire
We are souls on our knees
We are dreams of tomorrow
We are learning to breathe
Sometimes it’s so hard
Sometimes we have to bleed
Sometimes there’s only one shot
And sometimes that’s all we need
