"Water and a Flame" is a single by Daniel Merriweather featuring Adele from his second studio album, Love and War . It charted at #180 in the United Kingdom on the UK Singles Chart. The song was released as a single on November 2, 2009 as the fourth and final single from Love & War. There was also a music video for the song, although it was not very popular and did not feature Adele (due to conflicting schedules, as she had been working on her album 21 at the time).

TriviaEdit

  • This is Adele's lowest charting single to date.
  • The song was produced by Adele-collaborator and close friend Mark Ronson.
  • Celine Dion covered the song for her upcoming album. This is the second Adele song she has covered, the first being a live performance of "Rolling in the Deep".
  • Dion also named her upcoming album after the song, which will be included on the album. It is rumored to be released as a single from the album following its release, but this is not yet official.
  • Adele did not appear in the music video for the song, which may have caused the video to not be as successful.
  • Despite the fact that Adele is British and Daniel Merriweather is Australian, the song was released under Columbia Records, an American record label (although Adele is signed to it).
  • This is the only single by Adele to not be performed live at one of her shows; Adele has performed it live with Daniel Merriweather before, though, much to the crowd's excitement, as her appearance was a surprise appearance.

LyricsEdit

Seven days is gone so fast
I really thought the pain would pass
It's been nearly an hour since I thought of you

But you're not answering the phone
I'd settle for a busy tone
At least by that I'd know that you're okay
A girl like you ain't meant to go away, oh...

And now you're gone, ain't nothin' else I want
And now that it's over, there's nothin' else I want
And what have I done?
Looks like I was wrong
Is everythin' really meant to change?
I guess we're like water and a flame, water and a flame

I'm tired of this empty house
I need a drink to get me out
A couple more 'til I forget your name

I saw a boy that looked like you
I didn't know quite what to do
It took a power of will to break my stare
I realized what I wanted wasn't there

Now you're gone, there's nothin' else I want
Now that it's over, there's nothin' else I want
What have I done? Looks like I was wrong
Is everythin' really meant to change?
I guess we're like water and a flame, water and a flame

If you see me comin'
I look away, I look away
And if your mind is made up
I look away, I will look away

If you're worry bound
I'm okay, I'm okay, yes, I am
And all this sorrow and this pain
Is gonna go away, oh no, no, no

Now you're gone, ain't nothin' else I want
Now that it's over, there's nothin' else I want
What have I done? Looks like I was wrong
Is everythin' really meant to change
I guess we're like water and a flame, water and a flame
