Ashes to Ashes

It was great when it was good and it was good 'til it was bad

We were turning up the heat and now there ain't no turning back

It was what it was, now it is what it is

Tell me, how'd we get from that to this?

'Cause we caught fire from a spark on a Friday night

Took a match to the flames, started burning bright

We were chasing that summer time sun but got too close

Went up in smoke

And damn it, we tried to fight through the rain

Built it up strong but, baby, it's falling down

Like ashes to ashes we burned down, we're burning out

Dust turns into dust just like strangers turn to strangers

All the memories in between that matter now won't matter later

We could try to fight that fire, baby, we could let it die

'Cause we caught fire from a spark on a Friday night

Took a match to the flames, started burning bright

We were chasing that summer time sun but got too close

Went up in smoke

And damn it, we tried to fight through the rain

Built it up strong but, baby, it's falling down

Like ashes to ashes we burned down, we're burning out

We're burning out

Took the ambers out with your boot

Let the bygones do what they're gonna do

'Cause we caught fire from a spark on a Friday night

Took a match to the flames, started burning bright

We were chasing that summer time sun but got too close

Went up in smoke

And damn it, we tried to fight through the rain

Built it up strong but, baby, it's falling down

Like ashes to ashes we burned down, we're burning out

We're burning out
