Set Me Free
Jon T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put something in my bloodstream, to take away the pain
Attenuate my anxiety, make me go astray
Then cover me with blankets, to ease my aching heart
I don't wanna be a martyr, though I suffer for the art
Don't preach about eternity, this life is fairly well
Stop lie to us I now that there's no heaven nor a hell
If Jesus is your savior, than cross me off your list
In the end I might get burned, I gladly take that risk
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
And keep that fire burning, don't tuck me in to sleep
Whisper softly in my ear, that I'm the one you'll keep
I might get overheated, I might put on a show
But what's the point in holding back, I never liked it slow
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
