[English]

A dangerous drive

Switchin’ up the gear

Blazing sunset glow

You and my tears so

Don’t be afraid, no doubts at all

Take my hand cause tonight

We burn to shine yeah

Now hold me tight my dear

In the scars we share

Inside our hearts

The engine’s stained in red

If you remember me

The way I’m in your eyes forever

I’m burning HOT

If I can live life my own way

Turning to ashes ain’t no problem

So tonight in your embrace

Bonnie and Clyde it oh

Not running from it

Flames rising high, I love it

Let me live

I'm burning HOT

Just like

A phoenix soaring across eternal skies

You’re just like

A miracle making me dream again tonight

Once again, my embers glow hot

Sprouting wings

Now hold me tight

Throwing my body into flames

No hesitation, no regrets

It’s all right, we’re ride or die, yeah

The engine’s stained in red

If you remember me

The way I’m in your eyes forever

I’m burning HOT

If I can live life my own way

Turning to ashes ain’t no problem

So tonight in your embrace

Bonnie and Clyde it oh

Not running from it

Flames rising high, I love it

Let me live

I'm burning HOT
