Crash and Burn Lyrics

You knew me better than anyone ever
And I remember your very first letter
We were so young and all that we wanted was more
We feed each other like rebels on Harley's
And I knew how to enter your body
But at the speed that we drove we were bound to wash out
We flew...
And I could read every word you were thinking
You gave me something I never was given
It was heaven and hell all at once as we laughed, and cried
There always needs to be one that is willin'
To throw a rope down to someone who's slippin'
But sometimes you gotta know when to let it go...
We flew, rockets to the sun
Knowin' we'd crash and burn
That's the risk we run when you fall, in love
Rockets to the sun
Knowin' we'd crash and burn
That's the risk we run when you fall, in love
We flew, rockets to the sun
Knowin' we'd crash and burn
That's the risk we run when you fall, in love
In love, in love, in love, in love...
We flew rockets to the sun
Knowin' we would crash and burn
We flew rockets to the sun
Knowïn' we would crash and burn

Nadia Ali (Urdu: نادیہ علی; born August 3, 1980) is a Pakistani American singer-songwriter who gained attention as the frontwoman and songwriter of the band iiO, after their 2001 hit "Rapture" reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. The song also charted across several countries in Europe. Their 2006 single, "Is It Love?", reached the top of the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart.

After embarking on a solo career in 2005, Ali became successful as an oft-requested vocalist in electronic dance music. She released her debut album Embers in 2009.

The song was also nominated at the 25th International Dance Music Awards at the Winter Music Conference, while "Fantasy" was nominated for a Grammy award.

In 2010, she released a remix compilation titled Queen of Clubs Trilogy to mark her decade-long career as a singer-songwriter. "Rapture" was re-released as the only single from the compilation and the song was once again a chart success in Europe. Ali released the single "Pressure" with Starkillers and Alex Kenji in 2011, which became a club and festival anthem and received an International Dance Music Award.
