Lyrics
I though we had a place, just our place, our home place, my headspace
Was you and I always, but that phase has been phased in our place
I see it on your face, a small trace, a place laid, we been erased
But if we're way too faded to drive, you can stay one more night
We said we'd both love higher than we knew we could go
But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go
You wanted to go higher, higher, higher
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down, Babylon
Babylon
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down
We're tired of the view, it's your fuse, my half choose are not amused
I wish we had a clue to start new, a white moon, no residue
The color of our mood is so rude, a cold June, we're not immunine
But if we're way too faded to fight, you can stay one more night
We said we'd both love higher than we knew we could go
But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go
You wanted to go higher, higher, higher
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down, Babylon
Babylon
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down
We said we'd both love higher than we knew we could go
But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go
You wanted to go higher, higher, higher
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down
We said we'd both love higher than we knew we could go
But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go
You wanted to go higher, higher, higher
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down, Babylon
Babylon
Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down
