Down In Flames Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
What you're feeling now is a sudden rush
Getting mad, lashing out, but I think it's love
We don't talk for days, try to reach your phone
So I'm done making plans when you call it off
I don't know what to say
Baby is it too late?
We just need to trust
And not mess it up
Sit it down, talk it out, just the two of us
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't be afraid if the room gets hotter
I'll be putting this, putting this fire out
We'll be putting this fire out
[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it go down
Don't let it go down in flames
Know we'll find the exit signs
And we're gonna be okay
The smoke in the air is gonna lead nowhere
I won't let, won't let it go down in flames
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
What you're feeling now is a sudden rush
Getting mad, lashing out, but I think it's love
We don't talk for days, try to reach your phone
So I'm done making plans when you call it off
I don't know what to say
Baby is it too late?
We just need to trust
And not mess it up
Sit it down, talk it out, just the two of us
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't be afraid if the room gets hotter
I'll be putting this, putting this fire out
We'll be putting this fire out
[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it go down
Don't let it go down in flames
Know we'll find the exit signs
And we're gonna be okay
The smoke in the air is gonna lead nowhere
I won't let, won't let it go down in flames
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
If you need your space, I'll give you a break (break)
Give you time on your own just to clear your head
But when you say go, think you mean to stay (stay)
I'll be here til the end, I won't go away
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be afraid if the room gets hotter
I'll be putting this, putting this fire out
We'll be putting this fire out
[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it go down
Don't let it go down in flames
Know we'll find the exit signs
And we're gonna be okay
The smoke in the air is gonna lead nowhere
I won't let, won't let it go down in flames
[Bridge]
It's like our heart's out of focus
And we didn't even notice
I won't let you down, I won't let you down again
What we've built isn't broken
But it can happen in a moment
And there ain't no way to burn when the fire's out
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
If you need your space, I'll give you a break (break)
Give you time on your own just to clear your head
But when you say go, think you mean to stay (stay)
I'll be here til the end, I won't go away
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be afraid if the room gets hotter
I'll be putting this, putting this fire out
We'll be putting this fire out
[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it go down
Don't let it go down in flames
Know we'll find the exit signs
And we're gonna be okay
The smoke in the air is gonna lead nowhere
I won't let, won't let it go down in flames
[Bridge]
It's like our heart's out of focus
And we didn't even notice
I won't let you down, I won't let you down again
What we've built isn't broken
But it can happen in a moment
And there ain't no way to burn when the fire's out
[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it go down
Don't let it go down in flames (Don't let it go down)
Know we'll find the exit signs
And we're gonna be okay
The smoke in the air is gonna lead nowhere
I won't let, won't let it go down in flames
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it go down (Don't let it go down)
Don't let it go down in flames
Know we'll find the exit signs
And we're gonna be okay
The smoke in the air is gonna lead nowhere
I won't let, won't let it go down in flames
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it go down
Don't let it go down in flames (Don't let it go down)
Know we'll find the exit signs
And we're gonna be okay
The smoke in the air is gonna lead nowhere
I won't let, won't let it go down in flames
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it go down (Don't let it go down)
Don't let it go down in flames
Know we'll find the exit signs
And we're gonna be okay
The smoke in the air is gonna lead nowhere
I won't let, won't let it go down in flames

What did AJ Mitchell say about "Down In Flames"?
Genius Answer
Basically, I wrote that song about communication and basically, a big lesson that I learned was communicating. I talked to my really close friends getting in a bad argument, and from my perspective, I saw the situation could’ve been lot different, it could’ve been a lot better, if they just communicated.
