My Heart Is On Fire
Asta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out on the dusty road
Your eyes flicker to and fro
my hair caught in the breeze
You reach out and touch my knees
In the summertime
In the summertime you are all mine

My heart my heart is like a cigar
Breathe me in can you smell the nicotine on my skin?
My heart my heart is on fire
And you my love, you are my lighter

And the radio is playing our favourite song
It's the one where we know all the words to sing along
And my heart is beating to the sound of the drum
As we are watching the orange colour setting sun
In the summer, summer, summer summertime

Our love our love is starting to grow,
I lean over to you and tell you something you already know
I love, I love I dearly love you so
Let's see how fast this car and love can go

My heart, my heart is like a cigar,
Breathe me in can you smell the nicotine on my skin?
My heart my heart is on fire
And you my love, you are my lighter




Oooh oooh ooh oh oh ooooh ooooh ooh ooh ooh
Oooh ooh ooh oh Oooo ooo ooo
