Whispers like gunshots in the air
She shivers in the wind
The last leaf of a dying tree
The hour approaching midnight
We're taking flight
Our hands against the cold

Breaking barriers
Made in the olden days
And the tips of our fingers
Growing numb with the night
The railing's too much to use
So we won't use our hands
With our balance thrown off
We climb up the stairs
Up to where we found a home
In the woods off near the pond

It's so hard to know
This is the last time
You'll see me this year
It's so hard to know
You were my favorite this year

Baby, the fire...
Baby, the fire...
BABY THE FIRE!
BABY THE FIRE!
It will burn us both
'Cause our fire, baby
There's no place for it in the world
Our fire, baby
There's no place for it in the world

It'll always be ours...
Always and never...

Whispers like gunshots in the air
She shivers in the wind
The last leaf of a dying tree
Whispers like gunshots in the air
She shivers in the wind
The last leaf of a dying tree
She shivers in the wind

Baby, the fire...
Baby, the fire...
BABY THE FIRE!
(It will always be ours)
BABY THE FIRE!

It will burn us both
'Cause our fire, baby
There's no place for it in the world
Our fire, baby
There's no place for it in the world
