I come home late, find you asleep on the couch again
You've been workin all day, burnin' the candle at both ends
Papers laid out on the table
Tell me where it ends
We've been putting in time
But it's hard to hold the line
So we played that game, run that race, and we fought that war
I kept up the pace, got that raise we've been hoping for
But the money just can't buy us all the things we had before
We chased a better life
But was it worth the price
Whatever happened to the plans we made, laying awake after midnight
I don't want to lose that flame, but something has changed
I can see it in your eyes, and it ain't right
We oughta light the sky and scorch the earth
Honey we're wildfire
We just gotta burn
Well the years go by, and somehow I just can't forget
Under neon lights, you were burning brighter than a cigarette
No one says that settling down means settling for less
But things are getting dark
We just need a little spark
Whatever happened to the plans we made, laying awake after midnight
I don't want to lose that flame, but something has changed
I can see it in your eyes, and it ain't right
We oughta light the sky and scorch the earth
Honey we're wildfire
We just gotta burn
All I want is you, and nothing more
I need your love to light me up
The way it did before
Whatever happened to the plans we made, laying awake after midnight
Whatever happened to the plans we made, laying awake after midnight
I don't want to lose that flame, but something has changed
I can see it in your eyes, and it ain't right
We oughta light the sky and scorch the earth
Honey we're wildfire
We just gotta burn
