[English]

Your mouth is a revolver, firin' bullets in the sky

Your love is like a soldier, loyal 'til you die

And I've been looking at the stars for a long, long time

I've been puttin' out fires, all my life

Everybody wants a flame, they don't wanna get burned

And today is our turn

Days like these lead to, nights like this lead to

Love like ours, you light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us, we don't need that much

Just some-one that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

This world is getting colder, strangers passin' by

No one offers you a shoulder, no one looks you in the eye, eye, eye

But I've been lookin' at you, for a long, long time

Just trying to break through, trying to make you mine

Everybody wants a flame, they don't wanna to get burned

Well, today is our turn

Days like these lead to, nights like this lead to

Love like ours, you light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us, we don't need that much

Just some-one that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire heart

Our bonfire heart

Oh, our bonfire heart

You light the spark

People like us, we don't need that much

Just some-one that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Days like these lead to, nights like this lead to

Love like ours, you light the spark in my bonfire heart (two, three, four)

People like us, we don't need that much

Just some-one that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire heart

Days like these lead to, nights like this lead to

Love like ours, you light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us, we don't need that much

Just some-one that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
