New Flame
Sophie Ellis-Bextor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or is that just to break the ice
If our paths had crossed
I should recall such paradise
Inside me passion's stirring
Forgive me, you're divine
My new flame speeding towards me
I feel my temperature soaring
My new flame what a spark
Are you often here?
Where d'you like to go?
And can I come?
All I know for me to speak so free
It's not often done
But with the way we're heading
I figure we'll be fine
My new flame hold me together
The old flame fall apart
Around me bridges are burning
My new flame what a spark
You release me
You please me
Hypnotize me
Capsize me
Fascinated
Captivated
Exaggerated
Worth the wait-ed
What a fire!
