Fires
Ronan Keating Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have to believe that you can still feel me
And I can only wait and miss you
Now we're locked in time, out on the wire
I wish that I could fight the world for you
I'm always on your side
If I could trade places, you know I would
Don't let go
Just stay on that road in that heartbeat
You're not alone in the dark, can you see me
'Cause I'll be lighting fires, fires, for you
I'll be lighting fires, fires, for you
I'm there in the light when you need me, to find your way home
I'll never leave, you know I won't
I feel you're close, you're coming back to me
And summer may be over
But she leaves you her song
Hold on
Don't let go
Just stay on that road in that heartbeat
You're not alone in the dark, can you see me
'Cause I'll be lighting fires, fires, for you
I'll be lighting fires, fires, for you
I'm there in the light when you need me, to find your way home
I'll be lighting fires, fires, for you
I'll be lighting fires, fires, for you
I'll be lighting fires
Oh whoa
Just stay on that road in that heartbeat
You're not alone in the dark, can you see me
'Cause I'll be lighting fires, fires, for you
I'll be lighting fires, fires, for you
I'm there in the light when you need me, to find your way home

This song reminds me of my Dad. He passed away in 2015, I’m not sure if he ever even heard this song but when I was grieving early on, this song came on at my work and the words just hit home so much. Even though he’s gone I know I’m not alone and when I need him he’ll be lighting fires for me ❤️
