Fire
Rigby Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I start to run, but this fear keeps wearing me out,
I try to stay still, but still I wanna scream and shout!
We had to hold on scared to death and we run away
But from today I guess some things are gonna change!
I didnt see it coming!
Fire, fire!
Flames reaching the top wires
Higher and higher, avobe me

Youre above me,
Youre a liar, liar,
even though youre scot-free
Run for your life, we're starting tonight
Starting tonight!
Im chasing time, fall behind as we run through the street
Not slowing down, dead-end town almost facing defeat
It starts to spread flaming red and its closing us in
I never knew now I know how and where to begin.
I didnt see it coming!
Fire, fire!
Flames reaching the top wires
Higher and higher, above me
Youre a liar, liar even though youre scot-free
Run for your life!
Fire, fire!
Flames reaching the top wires
Higher and higher, above me
Fight for your freedom!
Let it light up your life!
Were starting tonight!
Starting tonight!
And its always been this way,
Fire, fire!
Flames reaching the top wires
Higher and higher, above me
Fight for your freedom!
Let it light up your life!
Were starting tonight!
Starting tonight!

Starting tonight!
Starting tonight!
