The Mercury is dropping low
Across the fields of gray
I'm watching everything we know
Slowly drift away
You're standing right in front of me
But I can't feel the heat
Just a ghost of what we used to be
In the middle of the street

And I'm shivering in the dark
Waiting for a spark
But the air is getting thin

Is this the way the fire dies?
Underneath these frozen skies
I can feel the cold front coming in
To wash away where we have been
And I'm reaching out for something real
To remember how it feels to feel
But it's freezing
Yeah, it's freezing

The memories are turning blue
Brittle in the cold
I'm looking for a trace of you
To have and then to hold
But the frost is moving up the glass
And the light is fading fast
We're just shadows in the pass

Is this the way the fire dies?
Underneath these frozen skies
I can feel the cold front coming in
To wash away where we have been
And I'm reaching out for something real
To remember how it feels to feel
But it's freezing

Maybe we were meant to burn out
Maybe we were meant to fade
I'm calling through the whiteout
Of every mistake we made
Every mistake we made

Is this the way the fire dies?
Underneath these frozen skies
I can feel the cold front coming in
To wash away where we have been
And I'm reaching out for something real
To remember how it feels to feel
But it's freezing
But it's freezing
