Stay up all night and sleep all day,
we were smart kids with too much to say
and we were so, so sure
that they were missing out
(yeah they're the ones that are missing out)

we were elemental,
thought down to bare essentials,
who knew we'd get so far?

'cause our days were numbered
by nights on too many rooftops
they said we burn so bright
we burn this city and go

play it again
(????)
oh, there's no such thing
(no, there's never too much)
and we were so, so sure
oh, we never had a doubt
and now we're counting days to getting out

we were elemental,
thought down to bare essentials,
who knew we'd get so far?

'cause 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 burn so bright we burn this city and go

pack our bags and let's get away
they're catching on to us (4x)

'cause 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're both so bright we burn this city and go

'cause our days were numbered
by nights on too many rooftops
they said we're wasting our lives
(and oh, we burned this city and go)
oh, at least we know that if we die
we lived with passion,
they said we're both so bright...

oh, our days were numbered
by nights on too many rooftops,
they said we're wasting our lives
(well, we're not wasting our lives!)
