My Heart's On Fire
Passenger ft. Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When something's living well you can't say die
You feel like laughing but you start to cry
I don't know how and I don't know why
Well, I don't have many and I don't have much
In fact I don't have any but I got enough
'Cause I know those eyes and I know that touch
Oh darling my heart's on fire
Oh darling my heart's on fire
Oh darling my heart's on fire
For you
Well I don't know where and I don't know when
But I know we'll be lovers again
I'll see you someday before the end
I don't know where and I don't know when
But oh darling my heart's on fire
Oh darling my heart's on fire
Oh darling my heart's on fire
You know those love songs will break your heart
You know those love songs will break your heart
You know those love songs will break your heart
Oh darlin' my heart's on fire
Oh darlin' my heart's on fire
Oh darlin' my heart's on fire
Oh darlin' my heart's on fire
Oh darlin' my heart's on fire
Oh darlin' my heart's on fire
Oh darlin' my heart's on fire
Oh darlin' my heart's on fire
For you
For you oh
It seems that the song Heart's On Fire is about a deep and passionate love that the singer has for someone. The lyrics express confusion about the intensity of the feeling, as well as a sense of longing and hope that the love will be rekindled at some point. The opening lines suggest that the singer is caught off guard by the intensity of their feelings: "Well I don't know how and I don't know why, when something's living well you can't say die. You feel like laughing but you start to cry, I don't know how and I don't know why." This captures the contradiction and complexity of strong emotions - they can be overwhelming and unpredictable.
Later in the song, the singer expresses that they do not have much in terms of possessions or material things, but they feel rich in the love that they have with this person: "Well, I don't have many and I don't have much, in fact I don't have any but I got enough. 'Cause I know those eyes and I know that touch, I don't have many and I don't have much." This suggests that the love they have transcends material wealth, and that the connection they have is much deeper than surface-level things.
