Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How many times?
How many times?
How many times?
How many times?
How many times?
How many times
Do I need to tell you?
[Verse 2]
Once more but this time you'll feel it
Off-grid, words lose their meaning
These nights have lost a certain feeling
Free flames return to coal
Sometimes it feels like we're dreaming
Kiss me, hard, make me feel it
Turnt night, let's awaken our feelings
Free flames return to coal
[Verse 3]
See, my girl's one of a kind
And he likes the gold mine
But lately I've been thinkin'
That there's something on his mind
Like a puzzle's not connecting
And maybe it's on time
It's giving me anxiety
Just when we think we cracked it
God shows his hatchet plan
Have I been so inconsiderate
Only wrapped up in myself
Have I been so absent-minded
Not to feel the hours weep
Every day, every week
D'you remember how we hicked it
When we were in our prime
Riding bikes to the Thames
And doing it twice a night
We'll never have those days again
Will we, babe?
I'm not tryna start with you
So baby, just be kind
D'you really wanna punish me
For some unspoken crime?
D'you really wanna chuck the love
That used to rule our lives?
Let's not start the day like this
[Verse 4]
Once more but this time you'll feel it
Off-grid, words lose their meaning
These nights have lost a certain feeling
('Cause) We flames return to gold
Sometimes it feels like we're dreaming
Kiss me, hard, make me feel it
Turnt night, let's awaken our feelings
Free flames return to coal
[Verse 5]
Please don't take that one with me
Just put a record on
No, I don't fuck with this mix
But The Cure I can get down
Or we could put on Radio 4
And listen to them talk
Like grown-ups talk
For all the times I wasn't kind
And pushed you till you snapped
For all the times I said the things
I know I can't take back
For all the times I told you lies
And brought tears to your eyes
I'm so sorry I made you cry
[Verse 6]
Watchin' Thursdays on this sofa
Feet still touch, your hand in mine
We watch as woman starts to flicker
Never tire of this spot
Feel the canyon drink between us
Silence takes us to the night
[Verse 7]
Still hopin' that you'll save me
Throw those arms around me
Squeeze me till my cracks peel
Fuse the broken parts of me
[Verse 8]
I'm sorry if I'm doin' it wrong
I'm sorry if I'm not the one
For all of the times that I tried
But I failed to put you first
I'm sorry if I'm doin' it wrong
I'm sorry if I'm not the one
For all the times that I acted a fool
And put you on the back burner
[Verse 9]
Back burner, back burner
Back burner, back burner
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner (Oh)
[Verse 10]
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner (Back, back burner)
Back burner
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner (Back, back burner)
Back burner
Back burner (Back, back burner)
Back burner (Back, back burner)
Back burner (Back, back burner)
Back burner (Back, back burner)
Back, back burner (Burner, burner)
Back burner (Burner, Burner)
Back burner (Burner, Burner)
Back burner
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner (Back burner)
Back burner
