About Things We Lost In The Fire

“Things We Lost in the Fire” is the first song that Dan Smith wrote for Bastille as he revealed to Sophie Eggleton. In MetroLyrics’s song explanation series, Dan explains what the song is about: "I think a lot of the songs on the album are kind of a big mash of things I’ve been reading or thinking about. And I think “Things We Lost In The Fire” – there’s sort of parts of it that come from real life. I think I got the idea while I was at university and I was chatting with one of my friend – and you know .

Things We Lost In The Fire Lyrics

[00:00.15] Things we lost to the flames
[00:07.50] Things we'll never see again
[00:14.86] All that we've amassed
[00:21.80] Sits before us, shattered into ash
[00:29.39] These are the things, the things we lost
[00:32.76] The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
[00:36.59] These are the things, the things we lost
[00:40.07] The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
[00:45.42] We sat and made a list
[00:48.52] Of all the things that we had
[00:52.47] Down the backs of table tops
[00:55.86] Ticket stubs and your diaries
[00:59.64] I read them all one day
[01:02.76] When loneliness came and you were away
[01:06.71] Oh, they told me nothing new
[01:09.66] But I love to read the words you used
[01:14.08] These are the things, the things we lost
[01:17.56] The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
[01:21.15] These are the things, the things we lost
[01:24.83] The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
[01:29.74] Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho-ho
[01:37.11] Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
[01:44.28] I was the match and you were the rock
[01:47.74] Maybe we started this fire?
[01:51.59] We sat apart and watched
[01:54.83] All we had burned on the pyre
[01:57.98] You said we were born with nothing (ho, ho, ho)
[02:01.51] And we sure as hell have nothing now (ho, ho, ho)
[02:05.16] You said we were born with nothing (ho, ho, ho)
[02:08.85] And we sure as hell have nothing now (ho, ho, ho)
[02:13.26] These are the things, the things we lost
[02:16.83] The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
[02:20.35] These are the things, the things we lost
[02:23.93] The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
[02:29.22] Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
[02:36.14] Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
[02:43.10] The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
[02:50.30] The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
[02:59.71] These are the things (these are the things), the things we lost (the things we lost)
[03:03.42] The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
[03:06.83] These are the things (these are the things), the things we lost (the things we lost)
[03:10.69] The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
[03:13.98] These are the things (oh-oh-oh) (these are the things), the things we lost (the things we lost)
[03:16.97] These are the things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
[03:22.34]
[03:37.15] Flames, they licked the walls (oh-oh-oh)
[03:44.20] Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adored
[03:50.60]
