Fire
Diffuzion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're riding in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm holding you closer
But you tell me no
You say you don't like it
But I know that you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Oh...

Fire

Late at night
You're taking me home
You say you wanna stay
But I want you to go
I say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Oh...

Fire

You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumping acting like a fool
Your kisses might burn
But my heart stays cool

Well Romeo and Juliet
Sampson and Delilah
Baby, you can bet
They were burning with desire
If I say split (You say split)
Then I know that I'd be lying (I know that you'd be lying)
'Cause when we kiss
Oh...

Fire

When we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness
Gives me desire
I can't resist
Your tender lips
When we kiss
Oh...
