Song Lyrics

Last rites first blood
Maybe a dream but then it's clear enough
Can't hide can't sleep
Is it the vision or the body heat?

True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire

One step too deep
I made a promise now it's hard to keep
One word one kiss
Come any closer and you burn like this

True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire

True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire

You're talking trouble when you move this fast
You're never certain that the light will last
You've got to wonder when the place will blow
Leaving nothing but a bed of coals

I made a promise not to fall this time
And not to watch another love go blind
Not to let another flame burn low
Now I'm praying that you won't let go

Well all right it's hot stuff
It's hard to focus but it's clear enough
The weak run, the lost hide
The strong forever hold the flame inside

True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire

True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire
