Fire

about

This song is about, you know, looking at someone off limits.
Wanting toys that are taken, losing good friends for crap reasons.
Self inflicted sadness,
& the humility that comes with rejection (said the rejector)

Very inspired by Muna's "Taken".

lyrics

I knew that you, weren’t allowed on my radar
Listen, no one is saying this all you

I did my best, mind my business, keep my distance
Listen, no one is saying this is not true
(but it’s not true)

I knew that you were bound by a label
A label that did not sit well with you
I came to depend on you my friend
O, I did so well with you

I knew the fire was hot, but I wanted to touch
I knew desire was not what we needed but fuck it
I knew the fire was hot, and I wanted to taste it
And that if we had a shot, we’d probably waste it

You’re taking up so much precious space in me
Facing me doesn’t have to be this hard
You’re shaking up all my precious energy
Chasing me was all you ever wanted

You knew that I was flighty and loud
Listen no one is saying you didn’t know
I thought you were safe, a place to rest my head
All I wanted to do was kick my feet up with you
I was waiting for you

I knew the fire was hot, and I wanted to touch
I knew desire was not what we needed but fuck it
I knew the fire was hot, and I wanted to taste it
And that if we had a shot, we’d probably waste it

And now you got it
And you don’t want it
Oh my god I’ve never been on this side of it
Now you got it
And you don’t want it
Oh my god I never thought I’d be on this side of it

I’m so sorry

I knew the fire hot
