That Fire Lyrics

I tell you all, the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I am that
FIRE!!!

So after all this time
You’re still so blind
Thought I was yours
You must have gone and lost your mind
I took it all there’s nothing left
That you’re showing me your weakness
You’re so naive…

I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I’m that fire
But if you know, how far this is from real
You walk away knowing I’m that
FIRE!!!!

Nothing’s changed another days has gone
Full of lies, I only told what you want
You’ve hit the wall and I can tell
Cause your giving in to your to weakness

You’re so naive…
You’re so naive….

I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about I’m that fire
But if you knew

You walk away knowing I’m that
FIRE!!!!
FIRE!!!!!!!!

-solo-

I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about I’m that…

I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I’m that fire
But if you know, how far this is from real
You walk away knowing I’m that…

I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I’m that fire
But if you know, how far this is from real
You walk away knowing I’m that
FIRE!!!!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's about a girl that is falling for him & wants a commitment from him after he fills her head with lies (telling her what she wants to hear) he is living life & messing with other females & doesn't wanna settle down...he is out of her league and the best she has ever had (that fire) so she sticks around.

Before I touch on "That Fire" itself, I just want to say I think Black Tide were given some poor management or direction when the LP 'Post Mortem' was released in 2011. They obviously had raw energy to spare and talent beyond their years. But that just wasn't enough and at age 18 they're being told they 'lack polish'?! WTF? Of course you're lacking polish at age 18 - that's completely natural and shouldn't be considered a 'fault'.

Ok, as for the the song itself; I think this track is HIGHLY underrated and I can happily say; 'There's no mystery here; it's about being a young dude with a "real Girlfriend". You tell her you really love her and she thinks you're 'that FIRE'!

However, despite all of this sweet-stuff you don't even want to think about giving up your chicks on the side.
