Starting Fires

(album: Broken Heartland - 2022)

It starts with fingers up my t-shirt
You whisper in my ear over the speakers
You say hello, but it sounds like heartache
You know I can only get so close to your flame

Starting fires
Starting fires I can't put out
Starting fires
Starting fires I can't put out

With every look you're striking matches
There's a drop of gasoline in every last kiss
Don't ya lean in, don't ya touch me
If in the morning you ain't gonna want me

Starting fires
Starting fires I can't put out
Starting fires
Starting fires I can't put out

I got a one drink fuse and looking at you
You make that whiskey burn so smooth
Can't stop it now, when you're dancing around
This half lit room like a flickering lighter
More you move the more I get higher
And there ain't no doubt, you know exactly what you're doing

Starting fires
Starting fires I can't put out
Starting fires
Starting fires I can't put out

I end up kissing you
In the back of a yellow cab
But I'll wake up missing you
Why's it always got to end like that?
