City On Fire Lyrics
oh oh oh oh (4x)
Go to bed and when it's cool and blue
And we wake up to a city on fire
One day I'm in love with you
The next I've lost all my desire
Some say that it's in my head
They know someone that I should talk to
All I know is when your in my bed
It's terrible that I could walk or lay down,
I wanna get this all out, all over you,
stay down I hope that you don't mind being used,
oh
I can see now once again
You keep me warm and keep me guessing
Don't know what you did or seen
But sometimes this feels like obsession
On the bed, your one sound But feels like I've been here forever
Was the one that hunt you down
Cause I feel like this next to never lay down,
I'm gonna get this all out, all over you,
stay down I hope that you don't mind being used, oh
Shake me
But you cant make me
Do what I don't want to
It's human nature
Promise, it's what you wanted
This is your future, with me
If you wanted something less,
Then why are you here every morning?
Now I know I must confess that you've become the other women
I remember once you said that you thought that I gave you balance
Don't know why I lost my head
Maybe it's cause your a challenge
lay down, I gonna get this all out, all over you, stay down
I hope you that don't mind being used
So, lay down, I'm gonna get this all out, all over you, stay down
I hope that you don't mind being used, oh oh oh ooh
And we wake up to a city on fire
One day I'm in love with you
The next I've lost all my desire
Some say that it's in my head
They know someone that I should talk to
All I know is when your in my bed
It's terrible that I could walk or lay down,
I wanna get this all out, all over you,
stay down I hope that you don't mind being used,
oh
You keep me warm and keep me guessing
Don't know what you did or seen
But sometimes this feels like obsession
On the bed, your one sound But feels like I've been here forever
Was the one that hunt you down
Cause I feel like this next to never lay down,
I'm gonna get this all out, all over you,
stay down I hope that you don't mind being used, oh
But you cant make me
Do what I don't want to
It's human nature
Promise, it's what you wanted
This is your future, with me
Then why are you here every morning?
Now I know I must confess that you've become the other women
I remember once you said that you thought that I gave you balance
Don't know why I lost my head
Maybe it's cause your a challenge
I hope you that don't mind being used
So, lay down, I'm gonna get this all out, all over you, stay down
I hope that you don't mind being used, oh oh oh ooh
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I believe the meaning of this song goes along the lines of that the singer is already in a relationship with someone else, but they're having an affair with someone they have a hot/cold relationship with. And even though the person they're with may possibly love the singer, the singer knows she's using them and cheating on her other partner, thus making the metaphor that they've become the "other woman". (Even though we would think this would mean maybe the singer's second lover is a woman, the age-old metaphor is "I've become the other woman," not "I've become the other man," thus they could be either male or female.)
Most of this is incorrect. Mostly in the second verse. I put little star things around the corrections.
I can see now what's your game You keep me won and keep me guessing Don't know what you've heard or seen But sometimes this feels like obsession I've known you for a few months now But I feel like I've known you forever Was the one that hunt you down Cause I feel like this next to never...
Then again in the last verse. And "your" is possessive. For the last line, the correct word would be "you're," for "you are."
If you wanted something less, Then why are you here every morning? Now I know I must confess that you've become the other women I remember once you said that you thought that I gave you balance Don't know why I lost my head Maybe it's cause you're a child
Have you EVEN heard the song before? What's been posted above is completely CORRECT. You need to relisten to the song. If anything, at the part "Now I know I must confess that you've become the other women," "women" should be changed to "woman," but other than that, everything else is right. You need to clean out your ears and re-hear the song again.
