Light the Match Lyrics
I want to start a fire in your heart tonight
Oh, tell me, why do I so yearn to cause trouble?
I need you to be mine in the summertime
When the days are long
And the nights are slow and sweet
But why do you turn and shield your eyes?
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly
For I mean every word
You flicker, you amaze me
Your lips illuminate me
I want your eyes to tell me I'm the only flame
My glow, it will attract you
My smoke will push you back
Until you call again:
"Please, arsonist attack!"
But why do you turn and shield your eyes?
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly
For I mean every word
I'll just light the match
And the flames will catch
But why do you turn and shield your eyes?
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly
For I mean every word
Oh, tell me, why do I so yearn to cause trouble?
I need you to be mine in the summertime
When the days are long
And the nights are slow and sweet
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly
For I mean every word
Your lips illuminate me
I want your eyes to tell me I'm the only flame
My glow, it will attract you
My smoke will push you back
Until you call again:
"Please, arsonist attack!"
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly
For I mean every word
And the flames will catch
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly
For I mean every word

wow..I'm really surprised no one has commented on this song. The lyrics are pretty meaningful, I think it means that she's addressing someone afraid of going into a relationship and saying that she really wants to be with the person. The instrumental is pretty amazing by itself.
I agree with dramatic on the meaning, and I've been in that situation before, myself...I'm still waiting for someone who is willing to be blinded by my light rather than turn away from it. :P
This is a gorgeous song. ^-^
I heard it, because it was dedicated to me by someone. <3
