Light The Fuse
Phone Calls From Home Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With my lungs filled deep
One last chance to breathe
The timing was right
I waited all night for them to leave

I'll move in close
Try to make you smile with caharming lines
I'll steal your time for a while

I'll tell the truth
I'm scared to death right now
But I'll light the fuse
I'm a fire that burns for you (whoa)
There's just something about her
There's nothing without her here
I can't stop thinking about her
I can't live without her here
I'm a fire that burns to light the sky

A beauty to match your eyes look up at the stars
They're shining bright for you tonight
We'll dance to shake the cold
And while I'm holding you close
I'll touch my lips to yours
And feel our love unfold

I'll tell the truth
I can't live without you here
I'll light the fuse
I'm a fire that burns for you

(whoa)

There's just something about her
There's nothing without her here
I'm a fire that burns for you
I just can't stop thinking about her
I can't live without her here

Even though its only been one night
It somehow feels just like
I've known you for all my life

I'll tell the truth
I can't live without you here
I'll light the fuse
I'm a fire that burns for you

(whoa)

There's just something about her
There's nothing without her here
I'm a fire that burns for you
I just can't stop thinking about her
I can't live without her here





I'm a fire that burns for you.
