On Fire
Stego & and-I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
looks happy as can be
A perfect dream
love as clear as all can see
But just like that,
real, has hit me suddenly
My outer is a liar
Cause when I
and I tell the truth to me
Loud and clear my soul cries out
with total honesty
I need the fire, fire, fire
to keep me warm
I got to feel the fire
My smiling face,
with laughter on the side
You'd say no doubt
I get passion every night
But if in our bed
your arms don't hold me tight
Means it leaves
much to be desired
Cause when I
look inside my heart
and I tell the truth to me
Loud and clear my soul cries out
with total honesty
I need the fire, fire, fire
to keep me warm
I got to feel the fire
I don't take a rocket
scientist to know
That if you don't fan
the flame then the fire
will eventually go
Cause when I
look inside my heart
and I tell the truth to me
Loud and clear my soul cries out
with total honesty
I need the fire, fire, fire
to keep me warm
I got to feel the fire
Cause when I
look inside my heart
and I tell the truth to me
Loud and clear my soul cries out
with total honesty
I need your fire, fire, fire
to keep me warm
I got to feel the fire
I need the fire, fire, fire
to keep me warm
I got to feel the fire
To keep me warm,
I got to feel the fire
