Heart On Fire
Clean Bandit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Oh, oh) You got me spinning spinning spinning

You came in deep, I'm hijacked, it's a holdup
I'm on the Ritz and we spinning every time we touch
My head is gone and I think and think about you much
I've never been the type of girl to dream about
Sugary things and I don't believe in fairy tales
But now to me it's like your love is oxygen

So hear me when I say this, boy I tell you true, I ain't easy
There's something about you just make me so crazy

I can't breathe, you set my heart on fire (Fire)
Every single thing you do just set my heart on fire
I struggle to breathe, I can't breathe, you set my heart on fire (Fire)
Start it again, I can't breathe, you set my heart on fire

All about the feeling, it's off, and I'm ahead in this
It's a chemistry, I'm so jacked up on your medicine
This thing is next, I'm so in, I'll take it any chance, no
Boy, you got me freaking, I never thought I'd be like this
When you go, I'm tweaking and pining for another fix
Told you before, your love is my oxygen

So hear me when I say this, boy I tell you true, I ain't easy
There's something about you just makes me so crazy

I can't breathe, you set my heart on fire (Fire)
Every single thing you do just set my heart on fire
I struggle to breathe, I can't breathe, you set my heart on fire (Fire)
Start it again, I can't breathe, you set my heart on fire

So hear me when I say this, boy I tell you true, I ain't easy
There's something about you just makes me so crazy

I can't breathe, you set my heart on fire (Fire)
Every single thing you do just set my heart on fire




I struggle to breathe, I can't breathe, you set my heart on fire (Fire)
Start it again, I can't breathe, you set my heart on fire
