Bonfire Heart
James Blunt Lyrics
Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky
Your love is like a soldier, loyal 'til you die
And I've been looking at the stars for a long, long time
I've been putting out fires all my life
Everybody wants a flame, they don't want to get burned
And today is our turn
Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us, we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
This world is getting colder, strangers passing by
No one offers you a shoulder, no one looks you in the eye
But I've been looking at you for a long, long time
Just tryna break through, tryna make you mine
Everybody wants a flame, they don't want to get burned
Well, today is our turn
Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us, we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
You like the spark
People like us, we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire heart
Our bonfire hearts
Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us, we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Your mouth is a revolver
Firing bullets in the sky
Your love is like a soldier,
Loyal 'til you die
And I’ve been looking at the stars
For a long, long time
I’ve been putting out fires
All my life
Everybody wants a flame,
They don’t want to get burnt
And today is our turn
Days like these lead to...
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours.
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
People like us—we don’t
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
This world is getting colder.
Strangers passing by
No one offers you a shoulder.
No one looks you in the eye.
But I’ve been looking at you
For a long, long time
Just trying to break through,
Trying to make you mine
Everybody wants a flame,
They don’t want to get burnt
Well, today is our turn
Days like these lead to...
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours.
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
People like us—we don’t
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
You light the spark
People like us—we don’t
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
Days like these lead to...
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours.
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
People like us—we don’t
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
People like us—we don’t
Need that much, just some-
One that starts,
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
