Kimbra - Old Flame Lyrics






Old flame, it's always the old way
When did it get so damn cold?
You're so seasonal
We flickered and swayed
Each time the winter soul came
I remember gold days
Under love's warm haze

Old flame, you're still the one that holds me
Can't you feel it burning?
Can't you feel it burning still?
Old flame, I fell for your inferno
Where did all the love go?
Can't you feel the wind blow you closer to me?

I went by your house today
When did you get so hollow?
So closed, so overgrown?
I flicker and sway
Still dancing on the aftertaste
I remember gold days
Wrapped up in the warmth we made

Old flame, you're still the one that holds me
Can you feel it burning?
Can you feel it burning still?
Old flame, I fell for your inferno
Where did all the love go?
Can't you feel the wind blow?

Smoke skies, colors and cloud nines
Circles and straight lines and drowned eyes
(When there's something in the air)
From such heights, I fell into Fahrenheit
And time only fuels the desire
(When there's something in the air)

It's always the old way
When did it get so damn cold?
You're so seasonal

Old flame, burning
Burning, burning still
Old flame, inferno
Where did all the love go?

Someone's been sleeping downstairs [x2]

    Old flame, it's always the old way
    When did it get so damn cold
    You're so seasonal
    We flickered and swayed
    Each time the winter soul came
    I remember gold days
    Under love's warm haze
    Old flame, you're still the one that holds me
    Can't you feel it burning
    Can't you feel it burning still
    Old flame, I fell for your inferno
    Where did all the love go
    Can't you feel the wind blow you closer to me
    I went by your house today
    When did you get so hollow
    So closed, so overgrown
    But I flicker and sway
    Still dancing on the aftertaste
    I remember gold days
    Wrapped up in the warmth we made
    Old flame, you're still the one that holds me
    Can you feel it burning
    Can you feel it burning still
    Old flame, I fell for your inferno
    Where did all the love go
    Can't you feel the wind blow
    Smoke skies, colors and cloud nines
    Circles and straight lines and drowned eyes

    And time only fuels the desire
    (When there's something in the air)
    It's always the old way
    When did it get so damn cold
    You're so seasonal
    Old flame, burning
    Burning, burning still
    Old flame, inferno
    Where did all the love go
    Someone's been sleeping downstairs
    Someone's been sleeping downstairs

    damn this track is an out of body experience, Love Kimbra so much

  6. J.... I....

    LOVE this music!  LOVE this song!  Simply delicious!

  7. W.... N....

    Wow, it's a song from a Tony Scott 80's movie that I must have somehow missed.

  8. t.... G....

    This is fucking great. I'm late to the party unfortunately.

  9. J.... I....

    Indeed THE BEST song... haunting and delicious!  Kimbra needs a bit of lightning to strike her again, she is pure talent!

  10. j.... a....

    ok but can we talk about how Cameo Lover - Two Way Street - Old Flame is one of those rare, fucking perfect three song progressions? another example is Dance or Die - Faster - Locked Inside. Kimbra and Janelle are heroes of mine, and Vows never gets old (I started listening to this album like 6 years ago when I was still in hs). I'm so excited for Primal Heart!!!!

  11. L.... T....

    Always think of my old flame that died this year..always

  12. Z.... ....

    Magical

  13. c.... o....

    OLLLD FLAMMEE!!!! BURNIIIINGGG STIIIILLL!!!! NAH NAH NAH NAHHHNAAHHH ANAHHHH 😍😍🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣😃😃

  14. T.... S....

    I love this song so much. This one made me a lifelong fan five years ago. I hear Prince's the Beautiful Ones from Purple Rain all over this track, esp. with the LinnDrum programming and Oberheim synth patches. Not derivative, but a wonderful tribute. Just amazing!

  15. C.... ....

    Incredible how a song can just absolutely destroy you, but only to help rebuild for the better! This song does that. Amazing Kimbra. This song, and "Miracle" are the two emotional extremes... well for me at least.

  16. r.... ....

    I love this song...Always reminded me of Iori Yagami from KoF... I always played the game and listened to this song...(I have been eternally single thus far so I don't have a real actual old flame)

  17. L.... C....

    the new gangsta song from suicide squad stole kimbras hook

  18. M.... L....

    Just broke up with my boyfriend of the last 8 years. This song kinda help.. I guess.

    M.... L....

    it heIps

    M.... L....

    why'd you break up?

    M.... L....

    it's not working like that you mofo

    M.... L....

    haha just walk it off. I hope u feel better !

    M.... L....

    +Crushed Belette

    8 years is a waste of time. Never do that again. EVER! If he doesn't ask to marry you at 2 years or under break it off. It's not going anywhere and all it becomes is a pointless lazy time with a friend. Hes a coward to keep you for 8 years with no marriage prospects and you're a fool to stick around for that long with a coward.

  19. M.... ....

    Best song on the album faSHO.

  20. a.... ....

    Apparently, she wrote this when she was 16 or 17...

    a.... ....

    Those were the days

    a.... ....

    holy fuck.

  21. C.... D....

    By far the best song in her album, can't believe it didn't chart!

  22. B.... M....

    her music slows time

  23. J.... R....

    kimbra should have done the 007 song not Sam

    J.... R....

    Not very good song for a not very good movie, I say.

  24. J.... B....

    your auld one

  25. M.... K....

    This song is the best one out of rest...

    It's sooooo groovyyyy!

    M.... K....

    +Marthious' Knowledge theres no way u can rate kimbras songs, theyre all unique and impossible to compare to each other x)

    M.... K....

    +bongoluke

    I can actually tell the difference btwn each song.

    Iam not just a regular "fan boy"!

    If the "harmony" of this song matched the rest I would purchase entire collection.

    Buy guess what? They don't all sound the same with the "melody" Iam interested in!

    Iam going to make an hypothesis about you...

    Analyzing... ... ...

    You are either a PC fanboy or DragonBall Z fan or both!

    Iam I right? ;)

    M.... K....

    Marthious' Knowledge what

  26. A.... D....

    That ending still... <3  3:48

  27. T.... O....

    I love Kimbra so much 😭💕

  28. b.... s....

    A lot of nine inch nails or depeche mode influences in this beautyfull song

    b.... s....

    Please tell me of a Depeche mode or NIN song that even compares to this perfection.

    b.... s....

    Hurt, right were it belongs, somebody, precious, something i can never have, find my way, mrs selfdestruct, etc

    b.... s....

    @Jigglypuff God chirp chirp chirp

    b.... s....

    +Jigglypuff God i would say depeche mode
    NIN it's more harsh

  29. M.... ....

    You posted this on my birthday! ^-^ <3

    M.... ....

    Meaning now I have to say happy early birth day :P

  30. B.... ....

    Love this song. It's so chill and flowy

  31. S.... *....

    My whole artistic stage was base around this beautiful song. I'm wrapped in nostalgia right now. So beautiful

  32. o.... ....

    Wow the mix is shittier on the Aussie version. Regardless, amazing song.

  33. L.... L....

    My favorite song from this album.

    This song is incredible. 

  41. E.... B....

    Africa and Sway!

    E.... B....

  42. N.... F....

    13 people slept downstairs.

  43. D.... D....

    KKKKK' Eu já mudei de opinião à medida que fui conhecendo o trabalho da Kimbra mais a fundo. Hoje, a minha música preferida é ''Two Way Street'', depois dessa, as que mais gosto são ''Come Into My Head'' e ''Cameo Lover''. rs'

  44. M.... �....

    A mim é ao contrario ;)

  45. D.... D....

    Cameo Lover: Minha música preferida da Kimbra.

    Old Flame: A minha segunda música preferida da Kimbra.


    Amo a Kimbra!

  46. G.... H....

    kimbra has the flame.

  47. J.... D....

    same, i replay it constantly

  48. S.... ....

    Kimbra gives me hope on love...all hope for love is never lost when i listen to her...gorgeous...

  49. D.... M....

    Yes! The music video to accompany this song would just be all kinds of gorgeous <3 *-*

  50. K.... L....

    I fall in love every time I listen to this beautiful song.

  51. C.... T....

    3:20 <33

  52. C.... T....

    This will always be my favourite song.
    I mean, the lyrics fits perfectly in the music and her voice is so deep
    But the last 40 seconds omg
    Just PERFECT.

  53. S.... L....

    This is my favorite song by her, definitely.

  54. L.... P....

    for some reason.... this reminds me a little of Michael Jackson, softly... No a bad thing though, just interesting

  55. E.... ....

    lol,i know right

  56. R.... S....

    It was funny how you said "NOW TWELVE PEOPLE ARE OLD FLAMES!!!!"

    ......

  57. D.... P....

    I replayed this song for so long that my flash player gave up....:X

  58. M.... X....

    So much truth to this song....agree with Dre P....poor replay button...lol

  59. W.... C....

    Inspirująca... ;)

  60. S.... G....

    yer but it wouldn't have the 80's sound she was aiming for if she hadn't used the synth drums!!

  61. k.... t....

    Really? I kinda like it :).

  62. b.... B....

    my fave of the year 2013. I declared it in Dec 2012.

  63. w.... ....

    the fact that there is no music video to this breaks my heart

  64. J.... L....

    o.O I really cant stop listening......

  65. J.... L....

    NOW TWELVE PEOPLE ARE OLD FLAMES. :(((((

  66. N.... ....

    Such an '80s sound! I feel like it's one of those songs that plays during the end credits of some late-'80s movie that you would catch on television.

  67. J.... L....

    I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  68. M.... C....

    OMG!!! THE END SONG IS FROM THE VIDEO OF GOOD INTENT!!!! XD

  69. e.... w....

    This is my favourite song.

  70. T.... ....

    I hear purple rain...

  71. T.... ....

    Does anyone else hear Prince influence? Especially at the bridge!! It's amaze balls!!

  72. B.... G....

    exactly she would have just left that soft beat instead of the drums

  73. T.... ....

    couldn't find it just give me the link please :P

  74. i.... s....

    the beat is incredible.

  75. M.... C....

    Me too!

  76. 8.... ....

    capolavoro fatto con la voce...

  77. R.... S....

    I sorta agree with u on that one.

  78. e.... ....

    her singing is great, but the drum track on this wrecks it. Sh8tty synth drums have *never* sounded good.

  79. J.... A....

    I hate you!!!!!! Lol JK

  80. M.... A....

    NA NA NANANANANANA NANANANANANA NANA NANA

  81. I.... B....

    I'd like to find similar songs as well!

  82. D.... P....

    poor little replay button...

  83. L.... ....

    OPFDSGUIOVBPERHANGTORWEAHUBVPFEAHFNAWERIPGFTIOPANJVKSDFPAHYO;P! I love you.

  84. W.... N....

    I completely agree - I first heard this last summer and my 1st thought was that they were playing songs from Tony Scott, and this one was probably from "Days of Thunder".

  85. G.... V....

    Had the pleasure of seeing her live twice in 2012. Montreux Jazz Festival and at the Docks in Lausanne, Switzerland. She is simply amazing.

  86. J.... F....

    everyone who likes Kimbra has some sort of connection through liking the same songs :D

  87. J.... F....

    OMG what madness is this, I agree. explosion of concentrated awesomeness!

  88. z.... ....

    This is my favorite Kimbra song!

  89. C.... ....

    I love the outro..omg, I wish that was an entire song!

  90. y.... ....

    If Kimbra and Imogen Heap did a duet, my head would literally explode from amazingness.

  91. D.... ....

    It is?!

  92. B.... G....

    she continues to sound like Michael jackson a lot , her voice is amazing

  93. s.... ....

    /watch?v=Go9oaJuvQs8&feature=plcp

    Your welcome :3

  94. z.... ....

    By the way, can someone think of similar songs to this one? It has this interesting blend of 80s synthesizers with maybe a more conventional singing approach.

  95. z.... ....

    I think this is my favorite song by Kimbra..

  96. T.... ....

    This is currently my favourite song.

  97. i.... ....

    To the 8 people who disliked this: why.

  98. B.... ....

    I'm so addicted to this song. There's something so 80's about it. I just love her. I wish I hadn't discovered her late, I could have been enjoying her music sooner!
