Old Flame
(Kimbra Johnson/François Tétaz)
old flame
it’s always the old way
when’d it get so darned cold?
you’re so seasonal
we flickered and swayed
each time the winter soul came
i remember gold days
under love’s warm haze
old flame
you’re still the one that holds me
can’t you feel it burning?
can’t you feel it burning still?
old flame
i fell for your inferno
where did all the love go?
can’t you feel the wind blow you closer to me?
i went by your house today
when’d you get so hollow
so closed, so overgrown
but i flicker and sway
still dancing on the aftertaste
i remember gold days
wrapped up in the warmth we made
old flame
you’re still the one that holds me
can’t you feel it burning?
can’t you feel it burning still?
old flame
i fell for your inferno
where did all the love go?
can’t you feel the wind blow you closer to me?
smoke skies, colors and cloud nines
circles and straight lines
and drowned eyes
(feel there’s something in the air)
from such heights
i fell into fahrenheit and time only fuels the desire
(when there’s something in the air)
