Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you just stay through the night?
Turn down the bed and the blinds
Before you turn around, can you just stay through the night?
Let me breathe you in till gravity bends
And we fall through the hole in the light
Make this our kingdom
Somewhere where good love conquers and not divides
[Verse 2]
'Cause I may not know a lot of things
But I feel it in my chest
No, I won't let the blue flame die
We can't lose hope just yet
'Cause it's once, just once in a lifetime
And we're scared to love, but it's alright
I may not know a lot of things
But I know that we're surefire
Yeah, know that we're surefire
Yeah
[Verse 3]
Can't keep this bed warm on the left side
When somethin' is cold, it's a goodbye
Why don't you turn around?
Ignore all that shit from the outside
The world is a nightmare, wake up and stay here
Let me be on your side
We'll make this our kingdom
Somewhere where good love conquers and not divides
[Verse 4]
And oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my God
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so tired of fighting
Let go, give in, let go and give up
Oh
[Verse 5]
I may not know a lot of things
But I feel it in my chest
No, I won't let the blue flame die
We can't lose hope just yet
'Cause it's once, just once in a lifetime
And we're scared to love, but it's alright
And I may not know a lot of things
But I know that we're surefire
Know that we're surefire
[Verse 6]
And oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my God
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so tired of fighting
Let go, give in, let go and give up
Oh
[Verse 7]
I may not know a lot of things
But I feel it in my chest
If we just let the blue flame die
The Devil wins this bet
Oh it's once, just once in a lifetime
And you're scared to love, but it's alright
I may not know a lot of things
But I know that we're surefire
Know that we're surefire
