I need big dreams

In city streets and bright lights

'cause this seems to make me feel alright

And I want this one

And I can take

And I can feel myself

From the break about to break.

And I'll be lost in the road

And I'm scared to fall on my own

I need hope or control

But something's pulling me in.

[Chorus]

It needs to hurt, so we could work

And I need fire, so I can burn

And I need love, so I can learn

I'm just a boy with the world at my feet to find a girl

Telling me to not get hurt

Telling me but I won't learn

'cause I want you and nothing can stop this

So let's sit and watch this burn

And as it ends up in ashes

We sit and laugh, yeah

We sit and watch this burn.

I need your heart and both hands and my plans

Are to make you feel alright

But you want it all in good time

And I get that you've been hurt before

And I'll be lost and alone

And I'm scared to fall on my own.

[Chorus]

It needs to hurt, so we could work

And I need fire, so I can burn

And I need love, so I can learn

I'm just a boy with the world at my feet to find a girl

Telling me to not get hurt

Telling me but I won't learn

'cause I want you and nothing can stop this

So let's sit and watch this burn

And as it ends up in ashes

We sit and laugh, yeah

We sit and watch this burn.

When the world gets quiet

I'll scream your name

When your lungs get tired

The air will breath the same

Don't forget me, let me ease you pain

Every heart is breaking

Don't let it slip away.

It needs to hurt, so we could work

And I need fire, so I can burn

And I need love, so I can learn.

Burn, 'cause I want you and nothing can stop this

So let's sit and watch this burn

And as it ends up in ashes

We sit and laugh, yeah

We sit and watch this burn.
