Bradley Charles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My life is cold
You put the flame on it
(You put the flame on it)
This heart of mine
You wrote your name on it
(You wrote your name on it)
With such style
I couldn't look away from it
Two thousand miles
I wouldn't stay away from it

You make my heart feel more
Than it ever felt before
I found out it was you
All I need is you

[Chorus]
You put the flame on me
(You put the flame on me)
You put the flame on me
(You put the flame on me)
You put the flame on me
(You put the flame on me)

When winter was cold
You brought this rain to me
(You brought this rain to me)
When my heart was crying
You brought your love to me
(You brought your love to me)
When the road was darkened
You shined the light on it
Now that I've found you baby
I'd never turn you away

You make my heart feel more
Than it ever felt before
I found out it was you
All I need is you

[Chorus]

(You put the flame on me)

When life was so cold
You put the flame on me
(You put the flame on me)
When life was so dark
You put the light on me
(You put the light on me)
You make me shine
Like I never shined before
(You put the flame on me)
You make whole
When I feel cold
(You put the flame on me)
You put the flame on me
You put the flame on me
You...




You put the flame on me
You put the flame on me
