Red Lights Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Always try to destroy what we have
Fire’s too hot to hold in our hands
This is deadly, killing me gently
Always try to destroy who we are
My heart is racing as fast as your car, come and get me
You’re killing me gently, yeah

[Chorus]
My blood runs hot, I turn you on
I’m in your arms til’ morning
My blood runs hot, we fall apart
Again, without a warning

[Verse 2]
I couldn’t breathe if you left me alone
I love the fumes that you push through my lungs
This is deadly, keep killing me gently
Yeah, oh
It couldn’t cope if I walked out your door
Your heart is racing, my knees on the floor
Oh, you let me keep killing you gently, yeah

[Chorus]
My blood runs hot, I turn you on
I’m in your arms til’ morning
My blood runs hot, we fall apart
Again, without a warning
[Refrain]
We got a love so intense, it could ruin my life
Got a love so intense, we could barely survive

[Bridge]
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
We got a love so intense, it could ruin my life
Got a love so intense, we could barely survive
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights

[Chorus]
My blood runs hot, I turn you on
I’m in your arms til’ morning
My blood runs hot, we fall apart
Again, without a warning

[Outro]
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
We got a love so intense, it could ruin my life
Got a love so intense, we could barely survive
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights
Dancing in the red lights

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
