[Verse 1]
Stay up all night and sleep all day
We were smart kids with too much to say
And so, so sure that they were missing out
That they're the ones who are missing out

[Pre-Chorus]
We were elemental
Talked down to bare essentials
Who knew we'd get so far?

[Chorus]
Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops
They said we'd burn so bright
We burn this city and go

[Verse 2]
Play it again (our games of love and lust)
There's no such thing (no there's never too much)
And we were so, so sure, no we never had a doubt
We're counting days to getting out

[Pre-Chorus]
We were elemental
Talked down to bare essentials
Who knew we'd get so far? (Who knew we'd get so far?)

[Chorus]
Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops
They said we're wasting our lives
But, oh at least we know
That if we die
We lived with passion
They said we'd burn so bright
We burn this city and go

[Bridge ]
(Pack our bags and get away, they're catching on to us)
(So pack our bags and get away, they're catching on to us)
Pack our bags and get away, they're catching on to us
Pack our bags and get away, they're catching on to us
Oh…
Oh…
Oh…
Oh…

[Chorus]
Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops
They said we're wasting our lives
But, oh at least we know
That if we die
We lived with passion
They said we'd burn so bright
We burn this city and go

(Our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops)
(They say)
We burn this city and go
(They said we're wasting our lives)
Oh, We burn this city and go
(Oh at least we know, that if we die, we lived with passion)
Yeah, we burn this city and go
(They said we're wasting our lives, oh, oh, oh)

[Outro]
(Our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops)
(They said we're wasting our lives)
(Oh, at least we know, that if we die, we lived with passion)
(They said we'd burn so bright, oh, oh, oh)
