When we were

Intro) (Instrumental, setting the mood)

(Verse 1 - Extended)

We were a spark under the neon glow

Fingers tracing secrets we didn’t know

A jukebox tune played soft and low

And the whiskey whispered, "Don’t let go"

A worn-out booth, a shared cigarette

A kind of freedom I can’t forget

(Chorus)

We were fire

We were ash

We were dreams that burned too fast

We were lightning

Gone in a flash

We were

Baby

We were

(Verse 2 - Extended and Revised Imagery)

Your perfume hung in the midnight air

Like a mist that dissolves everywhere

You said love’s a game, it ain’t ever fair

But I still see the dent where you sat on that chair

The lingering scent of pine and rain

The only comfort left in the pain

(Pre-Chorus)

The blues sang loud

They sang for me

Every note like a lost memory

(Chorus)

We were fire

We were ash

We were dreams that burned too fast

We were lightning

Gone in a flash

We were

Baby

We were

(Bridge - Revised Imagery)

The cracks in my heart

They hum a tune

The one we danced to under the moon

Every step forward leads me back to you

But memories fade

They slip right through

(Chorus)

We were fire

We were ash

We were dreams that burned too fast

We were lightning

Gone in a flash

We were

Baby

We were

(Outro)
