Lighting Myself on Fire

When you hold yourself to me I think I'll go down in flames Wouldn't ask you to join me Cause that would be insane But you could warm your hands I would stake out your place right here next to me They will come from miles away Cause it's cold outside And they need a place To rub on their hands and feet What better time and place than here? Cause you've become a fire for me Ever since you turned eighteen, love And then you said that love was Just some sort of passing thing You've become a fire in me Ever since you turned eighteen And the cold ain't so cold When you hold yourself to me They will come from miles away In your honor In their Sunday best of sleeveless shirts and winter coats Oh they've been waiting for this for years You can see it in their eyes There's a fire there But it's not that I'm on fire, yeah it's deep inside They're jumping to the peppered sky Cause you've become a fire for me Ever since you turned eighteen, love And then you said that love was Just some sort of passing thing You've become a fire in me Ever since you turned eighteen And the cold ain't so cold When you hold yourself to me Look! You can see it in their eyes They're afraid that they'll catch fire Cause I told them, they're filled with gasoline Cause it's what my heart desires All these little birds, are chirping in their worlds Twenty feet above the street where our footprints are heard You're wearing it down, you know, when you walk like that We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smalls of our backs And you're wearing it down, you know, when you walk like that We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smalls of our backs Yeah you're wearing it down, you know, when you walk like that We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smalls of our backs
