Ashes (Part 2) Lyrics by The Struts

YOUNG&DANGEROUS

2018

[Verse 1]
I guess now this is how the story ends
I lost my lover and I lost a friend
Lord, help me now
Life will never be the same again
Last first kiss going up in flames with no way out
I've been shaking, taking, faking it to escape
But life on the ceiling, losing feeling is not the best place

[Chorus]
Cause I can remember when we held the world in our hands (Yeah)
We were everything, two names on a beating heart
We lived our life while the others were making plans (Yeah)
We held every breath and made every day our last
We burned liked fire, now everything’s turned to ashes
We burned liked fire, now everything's turned to ashes

[Verse 2]
I wanna sing like we did back then
So out of place, yeah, we didn't fit in
Dancing like we were the only ones high
Never again will I feel so alive
Wanna drink, you’d only have champagne
Get out my face, I'm seeing yours again
Spinning around like you're there in my arms
I'm keeping your memory alive

[Chorus]
Cause I can remember when we held the world in our hands (Yeah)
We were everything, two names on a beating heart
We lived our life while the others were making plans (Yeah)
We held every breath and made every day our last
We burned liked fire, now everything's turned to ashes
We burned liked fire, now everything's turned to ashes
Oh, yeah

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
You were taken from me but I can still see that smile
And I know that you'll tell me, "Move on", but it's taking a while
I find myself laughing at things you would say
And how through the bad times, you’d say it’s okay
You're living in me now and that’s where you'll stay

[Chorus]
I'll always remember when we held the world in our hands (Yeah)
We were everything, two names on a beating heart
I'll miss you forever when no one else understands (Yeah)
I’ll hold every breath and save everyday that was ours
We burned liked fire, now everything's turned to ashes, oh
We burned liked fire, now everything's turned to ashes
To ashes
To ashes
Oh, oh
