Start A Fire Lyrics
I remember when you said your father's asleep
I remember swimming as our clothes drifted off to sea.
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me,
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me.
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
I remember drinking as the stars were falling,
I remember dancing on the hotel's unmade bed.
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me,
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me.
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
Taking chances in the back of your car,
We burn and on my radio is "Rockin' in a Free World,
S.O.S.
So obsessed,
Oh you make me such a mess,
Why can't this just last forever, why, why, why?
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me,
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me.
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
I remember swimming as our clothes drifted off to sea.
And lie here with me,
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me.
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
I remember dancing on the hotel's unmade bed.
And lie here with me,
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me.
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
We burn and on my radio is "Rockin' in a Free World,
S.O.S.
So obsessed,
Oh you make me such a mess,
Why can't this just last forever, why, why, why?
And lie here with me,
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me.
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Or,
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!

So this song has a great beat and great tune, but it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to determine what this song is singing about. Just read the chorus as one long sentence. "Here we go, just lose control and let your body give in to the beat of your heart as my hand touches your skin." Then there's the obvious lines of "Is this love or just sexual desire", "wake up, wake up dreaming and lie here with me", and "taking chances in the back of your car". That's pretty darn descriptive of a certain act that is performed by a man and a woman. I'll let you use your imagination as to what that act could possibly be.
The reason I love Ryan Star so much is, while several of his songs are very obviously about sex (like this one), I always get the feeling that it is about something more than just a f*ck. Its about laying yourself bare to someone you love and hiding nothing from them. Its a much deeper, more emotional connection than songs like "Back Of Your Car" seem to be about on the first listen.
