Lyrics
Been Burning the candle at both ends Missing home, my family, and my friendsAlways highway cruise controlling Yeah those deadlines keep on rolling around again
Got a destination burned into my mind A glow on the horizon in my sightsLittle wins keep me from slowing When time gets tough I get going
Running on fumes and fireworks Lighting the fuse watching those colors burst The payoff’s sweet when you reach the peak Fuelled by dreams just waiting to go boom Running on fumes and fireworks
Sure they might just fade into the sky But take the time to ride up on that highFor a minute feel the glory add a highlight to the story And keep that flame alive
Running on fumes and fireworks Lighting the fuse watching those colors burst The payoff’s sweet when you reach the peak Fuelled by dreams just waiting to go boom Running on fumes and fireworks
Light it on up, light it on up, light it on up like gasolineLight it on up, light it on up, light it on up like a neon scene
Running on fumes and fireworks Lighting the fuse watching those colors burst The payoff’s sweet when you reach the peak Fuelled by dreams just waiting to go boom Running on fumes and fireworks
Complexity of love, passionate intensity vs. simmering tension

Balanced approach, showcasing strengths of both singers
