Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are the lucky ones
So broke but rich in love
And anyone can see the stars in our eyes
We got corrupted souls
But in the end were skin and bones
Our recklessness keeps us burning bright

Cause we're playing with fire

We're playing with fire
We're playing with fire

Cause we're playing with fire
We're playing with fire
We're playing with fire

We are alive and free
Unfolding destiny
And anyone can see the stars in our eyes
We've got the wildest dreams
Beauty like you've never seen
Our recklessness keeps us burning bright

Cause we're playing with fire
We're playing with fire
We're playing with fire

Cause we're playing with fire

We're playing with fire
We're playing with fire
