Putting Out Fires - The bluetones.
(Expecting To Fly 1996)

If we put our hands together,
I think we could salvage it.
If we ride the stormy weather,
Will we really benefit?
Is there anything left to save now
Anyway?
When you're near
My heart beats quicker, faster.
It's your skin
As pale as alabaster.
It has to be
It has to end
Losing a lover,
Gaining a friend.
.....................
.....

Yesterday
Your virtue inspired me.
Yesterday
You ignited the flame
That burnt inside of me.
So why when I wake up today
Are there ashes about us?
Now I've lost the strength
To crush the flower.
Now I grow weaker
With the passing hours.
You once was the fire
You once was the glow,
I was so sure then.....
Now I don't know.

Chorus

I've wasted time away
But I think it's okay
Cos
I've wasted time away with you.

Now look what we built together
We didn't waste anything.
We built a fire
That burns too strong to die,
Or am I a liar
Who smotheres the flame.

When you're near
My heart beats quicker, faster.
It's your skin
As pale as alabaster
It has to be
It has to end
Losing a lover
Lying to a friend.

Chorus

I've wasted time away
But I think it's okay
Cos..
I've wasted time away with you.

I've wasted time away
But I think it's okay
Cos..
I've wasted time away with you.
