Playing With Fire
Ryan Pugal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who would ever thought,
I'd be in danger
There's a wall that's in front of me
What do I do it's in front of me
Never thought I would find the answer
Stuck in the desert
Take control of me
I'm standing here praying for better
Tears In my eyes keep falling down
Oh these tears in my eyes
Keep coming down,
And I can't stop right now
Trying to figure out
Why am I here
Woul you give me a reason
[Chorus:]
It's like playing with fire
Burning danger, danger
Black magic got you walking on water
One step back got you drowning under
And now I can't fight the feeling
Listen to my words
And it sounds decieving
I'm so ready to put out the fire
I'm still looking for an answer
Stepping in danger
Who would thought,
I'd be in danger
There's a wall that's in front of me
What do I do it's in front of me
No one, no shoulder to cry on
No one, no shoulder to lean on
Screaming out your name
But I know you can't hear me
Wish you were here by my side to love me
Tears from my eyes keep falling down
Oh these tears in my eyes
Keep coming down,
And I can't stop right now
Oh you got me figuring out
Why the hell am I here
Would you give me a reason
[Chorus:]
It's like playing with fire
Burning danger, danger
Black magic got you walking on water
One step back got you drowning under
And now I can't fight the feeling
Listen to my words
And it sounds decieving
I'm so ready to put out the fire
I'm still looking for an answer
