[Intro]
(A list)
(We had)
(A list)
(We had)

[Verse 1]
We sat and made a list (A list)
Of all the things that we had (We had)
I read them all one day
When loneliness came and you were a way
Oh they told me nothing new
But I loved to read the words you used

[Pre-Chorus]
(Fire) Fire
(Fire) Fire
(Fire) Fire
Fire, fire, fire
(Fire) Fire
(Fire) Fire
(Fire) Fire
Fire, fire, fire

[Chorus]
(Fire) These are the things
(Fire) The things we lost
(Fire) The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
(Fire) These are the things
(Fire) The things we lost
(Fire) The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

[Verse 2]
(Fire) Made a list
(Fire)
(Fire, made a list)
(Fire, had)
Oh they told me nothing new
But I loved to read the words you used

[Chorus]
(Fire) These are the things
(Fire) The things we lost
(Fire) The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
(Fire) These are the things
(Fire) The things we lost
(Fire) The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
(Fire) The things we lost
(Fire) The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
(Fire) These are the things
(Fire) The things we lost
(Fire) The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

[Post-Chorus]
(Fire) Fire
(Fire) Fire
(Fire) Fire
Fire, fire, fire
(Fire) Fire
(Fire) Fire
(Fire) Fire

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
