Wildfire
Mara Connor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to go where you go
I want to do what you do
I've been thinking for a while
And I'm think that we're better one than two

Oh I know I'm young still yet
But you're so out of sight
Oh I know you're no safe bet
But we've still got tonight

And when the night is over
Sleep settles in your eyes
Fog rolls in on the Devil Winds
I want to be there when you rise

Oh I know I'm young still yet
But you're so out of sight
Oh I know you're no safe bet
But we've still got tonight

Baby you're a wildfire
Baby you're a wildfire
I don't want to let you die
Baby you're a wildfire

I know the darkness you're hiding
It rests inside of me too
And in the night by the pale moonlight
I can feel it grow anew

Come the day when your flame finds me
I'll throw my arms up in defeat
If you're a wildfire I'm a wildflower
And I'm ready to face the heat

Oh I know I'm young still yet
But you're so out of sight
Oh I know you're no safe bet
But we've still got tonight

Baby you're a wildfire
Baby you're a wildfire
I don't want to let you die
I want to watch you grow higher and higher and higher
I don't want to let you die

When it's all over
They'll scatter our ashes like stone into sand
Millions of memories
Reduced to a dust dancing in the wind
When it's all over
They'll scatter our ashes into the sea
But for now
Bring that fire over to me

Baby you're a wildfire
Baby you're a wildfire
I don't want to let you die
I want to watch you grow higher and higher and higher
I don't want to let you die
I want to watch you burn brighter and brighter and brighter




I don't want to let you die
Baby you're a wildfire
