Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't nothing 'bout loving me
Is gonna be easy
I've never been the kind
Who would ever play it safe
If you wanna come along
Then you best believe me
I'm making you a promise
That I'm never gonna break

Gotcha burning like a wildfire, baby
Running out of control
Take you walking on a highwire crazy
No net down below
It's gonna get a little too far out there
Just you wait and see
Love you like a wildfire
Come swimming in the flames with me

It'll be the best part of a romance novel
Writing our story, mama, line by line
See how it might feel like trouble
Staring down the barrel of a heart like mine

And get you burning like a wildfire, baby
Running out of control
Take you walking on a highwire crazy
No net down below
It's gonna get a little too far out there
Just you wait and see
Love you like a wildfire
Come swimming in the flames with me

I wanna chase your love
Like a tail chases a comet
And move you like the wind
Through the amber waves of grain
I wanna lay you down
In a field of autumn clover, honey
Don't look down, just take my hand

Wildfire, baby
Running out of control
Take you walking on a highwire crazy
No net down below
It's gonna get a little too far out there
Just you wait and see

Love you like a wildfire, wildfire
Come swimming in the flames with me

You guys! This album is so diverse in the genres and I love every creation on it. Y'all's songs helped get me through a bit of a rough time in my life. Thank you very kindly. Funny thing about it. I got the CD free for buying tickets to a concert you were playing here in Northern California. Addy that time I was in the newness of grieving my husband passing very unexpectedly, and his mama just 6 months before. I was so sad and hermits up that i ended up wasting the tickets to see you live. But that CD played in his diesel truck and other music players for quite a long time (til it was misplaced by someone lol). Again, just THANK YOU for your talents.
