Girl on Fire
Sylvia Yacoub Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
She's living in a world and it's on fire
Filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away
Oh oh oh oh oh
She got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
She got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say
Oh oh oh oh
We got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh oh oh oh oh
Got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
Everybody stares, as she goes by
'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
She's just a girl and she's on fire
