Description
Love on the boil is where sparks fly even in the rain. Where ‘it's over’ sounds not like a full stop, but like a refrain. Two people who know how to stir up a storm from any whisper, turning quarrels into fuel for passion. Everything is too much: too loud, too painful, too vivid.
This story is not about harmony. It's that very case when desire is stronger than common sense, and the disappearance of the other is the best aphrodisiac. When the game of ‘we broke up’ has long ceased to be a joke, but still turns you on. A flame that doesn't care that it's impossible to extinguish - because that's the thrill of it.

Lyrics and translation
Original
We were fire, impossible to tame
Like oil in the ocean, no way to put out the flame
We were just a-running, eyes closed in the dark
Headed for a wall, full speed, oh, it's about to leave a mark
Oh, and it was freedom, you hold me, I scream your name
Through all of the madness, I take the blame
And I
And I
I only want you when you're gone, gone, gone
Playing like we're done, done, done
I love your game
Drive me insane
I only want you when you're gone, gone, gone
Playin' like we're done, done, done
I love your game
Drive me insane
I only want you when you're (gone, gone)
I only want you when you're (gone, gone)
I only want you when you're (gone, gone)
I only want you when you're gone (gone, gone)
We loved the light, yeah, like a moth to a flame
But I knew that it was something special from the start
Had that good, bad lovin' in my heart
And now I need a sequel to the movie that we made
I'll keep on runnin' the scenes, all this acting reckless
All this love, that love in pain
I only want you when you're gone (gone, gone)
Playing like we're done, done, done (oh)
I love your game
Drive me insane
I only want you when you're gone, gone, gone (gone)
Playing like we're done, done, done
And I love your game
Drive me insane
I only want you when you're (I want you when you're)
I only want you when you're gone (I want you when you're)
I only want you when you're gone (I want you when you're)
I only want you when you're gone (I want you when you're)
I only want you when you're gone (gone, gone, gone)
I only want you when you're gone (done, done, done)
I only want you when you're gone, oh (gone, gone, gone)
Want you when you're gone, oh (done, done, done)
I only want you when you're gone
I know I love to scream your name
I love your game (hey)
Drive me insane (ah)
I only want you when you're gone (gone, gone, gone)
