Smoke and Fire
Sabrina Carpenter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, oh, our love is running into a burning building
Oh, oh, our love is scattered ash with a burnt up feeling
Feel the heat so we started running
You know you saw it coming
But the memories are still in my mind
Burning like smoke and fire

Rumors spread like wildfire, I held a strong ground
But I've been burning down
'Cause it's like fire is all I hear about
And we are fading out
Don't wanna turn out the light
But it's like

I'm no firefighter
I just need to breathe tonight
So sound the alarm
And there goes the night

Oh, oh, our love is running into a burning building
Oh, oh, our love is scattered ash with a burnt up feeling
Feel the heat so we started running
You know you saw it coming
But the memories are still in my mind
Burning like smoke and fire

Secrets in a small town, they always get around
But the flame has been put out
And I am hearing all the small talk
They whisper as I walk
In a house that's bordered up
So good luck

I'm no firefighter
I just need to breathe tonight
So sound the alarm
And there goes the night

Oh, oh, our love is running into a burning building
Oh, oh, our love is scattered ash with a burnt up feeling
Feel the heat so we started running
You know you saw it coming
But the memories are still in my mind
Burning like smoke and fire

Smoke and fire
Smoke and fire
Don't you know that
If there's smoke there's fire
Smoke there's fire
Smoke there's fire
Now, now
Oh, oh, and now it's over
Oh, oh, I'm getting colder
Oh, oh, and it's the feeling
Like running into a burning building
Rumors spread like wildfire, I held a strong ground
But I've been burning down

Oh, oh, our love is running into a burning building
Oh, oh, our love is scattered ash with a burnt up feeling
Feel the heat so we started running
You know you saw it coming
But the memories are still in my mind
Burning like smoke and fire

Smoke and fire
Smoke and fire
Don't you know that
If there's smoke there's fire
Smoke there's fire
Smoke there's fire
Now, now
Oh, oh, and now it's over
Oh, oh, I'm getting colder




I'm so tired
Burning like smoke and fire

[Chorus]
(Oh-oh) Our love is running into a burning building
(Oh-oh) Our love is scattered ash with a burnt up feeling
Feel the heat, so we started running

But the memories are still in my mind
Burning like smoke and fire

[Verse 1]
Rumors spread like wildfire
I held a strong ground
But I've been burning down
'Cause it's like fire is all I hear about

I'm no firefighter
I just need to breathe tonight
So sound the alarm, and there goes the night

Of running into a burning building
Rumors spread like wildfire

Burning like smoke and fire

Smoke and fire, smoke and fire
Don't you know that if there's smoke, there's fire?
Smoke there's fire, smoke there's fire

she wasnt lying when she said rumors spread like wildfire

@anagirlygamer7787

Haha. Your soooo funny.

@farkleyedits2368

it’s the way that multiple of sabrina’s songs have so many clues or phrases related to this sabrina-olivia-josh situation now😭 here’s a list of lyrics that i can remember that coincidentally relate to this situation ahsjd:
- your loves like: she had the lyrics “red lights” and “stop signs” which goes with the “red lights, stop signs” lyrics from driver’s license
-thumbs: she had the lyrics that people should take advice from like “don’t believe everything that you hear” and “don’t just march to the beat of that drum don’t be one of them people just twiddling them thumbs”
- sue me: she had the lyrics “i guess i’m hard to ignore” which goes with the people who can’t keep sabrina’s name out of their mouth because they can’t stop talking about how she’s the blonde girl in olivia’s song
- smoke and fire: the lyrics you said that go with all the unconfirmed rumors people spread online and believed about sabrina and this whole situation
