Making a Fire (Mark Ronson Re-Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting, elevating
Hanging on the line
Hate to say it, your new favorite's
Going out of style
Threw away those broken heroes
They're just wood and wires
Hallelujah, spread the news, but
Don't believe the hype
Alright

[Pre-Chorus]
Are you afraid of the dark?
I know a place we can start

[Chorus]
But if this is the last time
Make up your mind
I've waited a lifetime to live
It's time to ignite
I'm making a fire

[Verse 2]
I was begging whеn I said I'd
Never tell a liе
Luck be damned, I took a stand and
Finally hit my stride
Bye, bye
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you afraid of the dark?
I know a place we can start

[Chorus]
So if this is the last time
Make up your mind
I've waited a lifetime to live
It's down to the wire

This is the last time
I've made up my mind
I've waited a lifetime to live
It's time to ignite
I'm making a fire

[Outro]
Taking it down to the wire
We're making a fire

Taking it down to the wire
We're making a fire

Taking it down to the wire
We're making a fire

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]

A back-up vocal quartet featuring Violet Grohl (Dave’s daughter) supports the refrain.
