Mikky Ekko - Burning Doves lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Behind a velvet rope, we hide in plain sight

We're dressed in black smoke, & have our hands tied

She says I see you babe but we are both blind

Our bodies yearnin' for what we cannot find

The end is beginnin' & I'm fallin'

So take it or leave it cause I'm all in

(Chorus)

We're 2 young to die today, to die today

But we're 2 broken to fly away, to fly away

Cause we both know betta than to set ourselves on fire

All in the name of luv

We're 2 young to be afraid to fly like burnin' doves

(Verse 2)

You've been on your knees prayin' for so long

When you close your eyes the words do not come

The end is beginnin' & you're fallin'

So take it or leave it cause I'm all in

(Chorus)

We're 2 young to die today, to die today

But we're 2 broken to fly away, to fly away

Cause we both know betta than to set ourselves on fire

All in the name of luv

We're 2 young to be afraid to fly like burnin' doves

(Bridge)

If you can show me, I can lift you up

& if you call my name, then I can see up

& I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the things we've done

We're fallin', we're fallin' from a burnin' sun

We flew 2 high lookin' for luv

We knew the skies, but not well enough

(Chorus)

We're 2 young to die today, to die today

But we're 2 broken to fly away, to fly away

Cause we both know betta than to set ourselves on fire

All in the name of luv

We're 2 young to be afraid to fly like burnin' doves
