You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, girl
We couldn't get much higher

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Oh, the time to hesitate is through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
If I was to say to you
That our love becomes a funeral pyre

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Light my fire, light my fire
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah

The time to hesitate is through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral pyre

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Oh, come on, baby light my fire
Come on, baby, light, light my fire
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire
Oh, oh, light, light, light, light, light, light
Yeah, girl, all you gotta do is light my fire
You gotta light, girl, you gotta light
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire
Oh, yeah, light, light, light, light, light, light, girl
All you gotta do is do it, girl, do it girl
Girl, you gotta do it, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh yeah light my fire

    Jim Morrison from the Doors wrote and originally sang this song! I love that version! And i like Will's as it isnt a complete rip off of Jim's it is his own unique take, and he has an amazing voice!

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
