Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(I want it sometimes, I want it sometimes)

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

[Verse 2]

I never wanted much, I never complained

(I want it sometimes, I want it sometimes)

Only want a little love sometimes

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

I just need a little touch, little color on a grayscale

(I want it sometimes, I want it sometimes)

Or I forget to inhale sometimes

(I want it sometimes, I want it sometimes)

[Verse 3]

Now, I don't even know if you want to stay

Saw you when it all burned down, that look was on your face

Now you wanna save this house, well it's far too late

Oh, you wanna be my healer, now that I'm up in flames

[Verse 4]

But I was burned before the fire (I'm burned up)

But I was burned before the fire (Mmm, I'm burned up)

[Verse 5]

(I want it sometimes, I want it sometimes)

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

(I want it sometimes, I want it sometimes)

[Verse 6]

I don't have another heart, don't remember how to say

(I want it sometimes, I want it sometimes)

I don't want you let me down sometimes

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

I already know this part, leave it for another day

(I want it sometimes, I want it sometimes)

Wish it wasn't this hard sometimes

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

[Verse 7]

Now, I don't even know if you want to stay

Saw you when it all burned down, that look was on your face

Now you wanna save this house, well it's far too late

Oh, you wanna be my healer, now that I'm up in flames

[Verse 8]

But I was burned before the fire (Mmm, I'm burned up)

But I was burned before the fire (Mmm, I'm burned up)

But I was burned before the fire (Mmm, I'm burned up)

But I was burned before the fire (Mmm, I'm burned up)

[Verse 9]

Before the fire

Before the fire

Before the fire

Before the fire

Mmm, na, na

[Verse 10]

(I want it sometimes, I want it sometimes)

(I want it sometimes)

Burned, burned before the fire

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

(I want it sometimes)

Burned, burned before the fire

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

Before the fire

(I want it sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)

Before the fire
