Fire Meets Gasoline
Sia Lyrics

It's dangerous
To fall in love is a hazard, a risky business.

To fall in love, but I
Despite the dangers, the singer still falls in love.

Wanna burn with you tonight
The singer wants to experience the passionate desire of love with their partner.

Hurt me
The artist is willing to experience pain in the name of love.

There's two of us
Both the artist and their partner are present in this passionate relationship.

We're bristling with desire
Both the singer and their partner are full of passion and longing for each other.

The pleasure's pain and fire
The singer recognizes that the pleasure they feel from their love is mixed with pain and intensity.

Burn me
The artist asks their partner to become fully consumed by their love and passion.

So come on, I'll take you on, take you on, I
The artist is inviting their partner to fully engage with them in this intense relationship.

Ache for love, ache for us, why
The artist is longing for the love and connection they share with their partner.

Don't you come, don't you come a little closer
The singer asks their partner to move closer to them in this intimate encounter.

So come on now, strike the match, strike the match now
The artist is urging their partner to ignite the passion between them.

We're a perfect match, perfect somehow
The singer believes they are perfectly suited for each other in this intense relationship.

We were meant for one another, come a little closer
The singer believes that they and their partner were destined for each other, and asks them again to move closer.

Flame you came from me
The passion and desire between them is mutual, and was ignited by the singer.

Fire meet gasoline
The artist compares the intensity of their love to the combustibility of gasoline and a flame.

I'm burning alive
The artist is consumed by the passion and intensity of their love.

I can barely breathe
The intensity of the love the singer feels is overwhelming and suffocating.

When you're here loving me
The singer's cause of suffocation is the presence of their partner.

I got all I need
The artist has everything they desire in this relationship with their partner.

When you came after me
The artist recognizes that their partner pursued them and that they are grateful for it.

And we will fly
The intensity and passion between the artist and their partner feels liberating and weightless.

Like smoke darknin' the sky
The singer uses metaphor to describe the effect their love has on the world around them.

I'm Eve, I wanna try
The artist alludes to the Biblical story of Eve and her desire for knowledge, suggesting they share a desire to explore and experience their love to its fullest extent.

Take a bite
The singer references Eve's choice to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, implying they are eager to take a similarly decisive action in their love life.

But it's a bad bet, certain death
The singer acknowledges that their intense love and passion is risky and could have negative consequences.

But I want what I want and I gotta get it
Despite the risks, the singer can't resist their desire for love and passion with their partner.

When the fire dies, darkened skies
The artist recognizes that the end of their relationship will result in sadness and a sense of loss.

Hot ash, dead match, only smoke is left
The artist uses metaphor to describe the bleak aftermath of their love affair once it has burned itself out.

Burn with me tonight yeah
The singer ends the song with a final call to their partner to share one more intensely passionate experience together.
