Star Fire
Sleeping Wolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere
Fell asleep in a Pontiac firebird
And I don't know where
She leans
On the window
Passed out since we're done shooting fireworks
In the fallen snow
Oh I don't know where we're gonna go
We'll runaway and you'll look at me like that
I don't know whatcha gonna say
If I say that I wanted to so bad
Here comes that electric spark in your eyes
Turning me into flames
All these explosions go off in the night
Don't let them fade away
I'm under attack
There's no turning back
Lighting me up you're the weapon of desire
Burn like a starfire
Burn like a starfire
Burn like a starfire
Walking
To a dine-out
Still high from the night and the magic
Let me look at her
She's so pretty
So reckless
Messy hair pulled up in a pony tail
Can't forget this
Ohoh
Here comes that electric spark in your eyes
Turning me into flames
All these explosions go off in the night
Don't let them fade away
I'm under attack
There's no turning back
Lighting me up you're the weapon of desire
Burn like a starfire
Burn like a starfire
Burn like a starfire
I don't know
Where we're gonna go
We're gonna when you look at me like that
I don't know whatcha gonna say
If I say I want you so bad
Here comes that electric spark in your eyes
Turning me into flames
All these explosions go off in the night
Don't let them fade away
I'm under attack
There's no turning back
Lighting me up you're the weapon of desire
Burn like a starfire
Burn like a starfire
Burn like a starfire
Burn like a starfire
Burn like a starfire
