Put It Out

If you put it out
 You might never see the flame again
 Lover if you put it out
 You might never see the flame again
 Gotta let it burn until the end
 On its own
 We waited for tonight for what felt like days
 But everything that burns bright never stays
 You were the dawn
 That bathed me in peach
 And I would come to greet you like the beach to the sun
 Lover, if you put it out
 You might never see the flame again
 Lover if you put it out
 You might never see the flame again
 Better let it burn until the end
 All on its own
 We waited for July for what felt like years
 But anything that moves slow soothes my fears
 You were the autumn
 That bathed me in gold
 I'm a fool that thinks you were a flame I could hold
 Lover, if you put it out
 You might never see the flame again
 Lover if you put it out
 You might never see the flame again
 Gotta let it burn until the end
 On its own
 Every time the day breaks you are
 The only one awake the way you are
 Every night your lights the brightest star
 But I only feed it dark sometimes
 Lover, if you put it out
 You might never see the flame again
 Lover if you put it out
 You might never see the flame again
 Lover if you put it out
 You might never see the flame again
 Gotta let it burn until the end
