Sippin On Fire
Florida Georgia Line Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl you melt me like ice and whiskey
With those blue fling looks that you give me,
You can't hide what's inside
And it's killing me right now to see
You wanna slip off with me again

Why should we go round and round the truth,
Like we been doin'?
Every time we lie girl we're losing
So why should we spend Saturday night alone,
When I can call you on the phone, pick you up
Make it up as we go along
Pull and all nighter chasing that desire
Sparks flying in her eyes like lighters (like lighters)
Get a little higher (get a little higher)
Sippin' on fire

You act like you don't know what you're missing,
Every time you end up back with him
'Cause it's safe, and you're scared.
Of everything you're feeling when
We're burning the midnight down again

Why should we go round and round the truth, like we been doin?
Every time we lie girl we're losing
So why should we spend Saturday night alone,
When I can call you on the phone, pick you up
Make it up as we go along
Pull and all nighter chasing that desire
Sparks flying in her eyes like lighters (like lighters)
Get a little higher (get a little higher),
Sippin' on fire

Every goodbye is bitter sweet,
So why should we fight what we both need?

Why should we go round and round the truth, like we been doin?
Every time we lie girl we're losing
So why should we spend Saturday night alone,
When I can call you on the phone, pick you up
Make it up as we go along
Pull and all nighter chasing that desire
Sparks flying in her eyes like lighters (like lighters)
Get a little higher (get a little higher),
Sippin' on fire

Girl you melt me like ice and whiskey
With those blue fling looks that you give me,
You can't hide what's inside




And it's killing me right now to see
You wanna slip off with me

Every time you end up back with him
Cause it's safe, and you're scared
Of everything you're feelin' when we're burning the midnight down again

This is a wonderful blend of country and Rock, it sets the mood for the evening. A very talented group who know how to bring it. I like the mix at times of some hip hop in the mix, gives it some spice. Very favorable band...Blessings
