Wildfire
Samecity Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're like a ray of sun
After the day is done
You're like a breath of air in my lungs
Feels like a constant wind
Fillin' my sails again just like a stolen heart
On the run
No matter where you've been
I can feel your heart beating

No matter what you've done
You're still the only one
Your love's a wildfire
Your love's a burning flame
That can't be tamed
You're like a moutain's peak
I can't seem to reach
You're like a lifeboat when I sink
You're a raging flood
The one think here that holds me up
When life takes hold of my love
No matter where you've been
I can feel your heart beating
No matter what you've done
You're still the only one
Your love's a wildfire
Your love's a burning flame
That can't be tamed
That can't be tamed
You're like a flame in the night
When the sun goes down and the lights die
Pulling me in
Pulling me by
The hand
You're like a flame in the night
When the sun goes down and the lights die
Pulling me in
Pulling me by
The hand
No matter where you've been
I can feel your heart beating
No matter where you've been
I can feel your heart beating
No matter what you've done
You're still the only one
Your love's a wildfire
Your love's a burning flame

That can't be tamed
That can't be tamed
