Girl on Fire Lyrics
I wonder if those whispering pines ever told our secrets
'Cause if I have one too many I'll tell you mine
A story of how the first cut is the deepest
And how some old flames just don't fade with time
We were bottle rockets in a summer love
Shooting for the stars, we were blowing up
Moonlight kisses in a Chevrolet bed
All over my heart over my head
You were my half pack hider, I was your glove box lighter
If I tell you I knew what I was doing, I'm a liar
I was trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
I wonder if you ever made it out to Colorado
Or did the Santa Ana's take you to the coast?
You might've tried settling down
But you can't be what you're not though
You were born to burn just a little
Out of control, trust me I know
We were bottle rockets in a summer love
Shooting for the stars, we were blowing up
Moonlight kisses in a Chevrolet bed
All over my heart over my head
You were my half pack hider, I was your glove box lighter
If I tell you I knew what I was doing, I'm a liar
I was trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
Like the sky turns at night when the sun dips down just right
That was us, we were young, we were love on fire, on fire
We were bottle rockets in a summer love
Shooting for the stars, we were blowing up
Moonlight kisses in a Chevrolet bed
All over my heart over my head
You were my half pack hider, I was your glove box lighter
If I tell you I knew what I was doing, I'm a liar
I was trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
Trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
'Cause if I have one too many I'll tell you mine
A story of how the first cut is the deepest
And how some old flames just don't fade with time
Shooting for the stars, we were blowing up
Moonlight kisses in a Chevrolet bed
All over my heart over my head
You were my half pack hider, I was your glove box lighter
If I tell you I knew what I was doing, I'm a liar
I was trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
Or did the Santa Ana's take you to the coast?
You might've tried settling down
But you can't be what you're not though
You were born to burn just a little
Out of control, trust me I know
Shooting for the stars, we were blowing up
Moonlight kisses in a Chevrolet bed
All over my heart over my head
You were my half pack hider, I was your glove box lighter
If I tell you I knew what I was doing, I'm a liar
I was trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
That was us, we were young, we were love on fire, on fire
Shooting for the stars, we were blowing up
Moonlight kisses in a Chevrolet bed
All over my heart over my head
You were my half pack hider, I was your glove box lighter
If I tell you I knew what I was doing, I'm a liar
I was trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
Trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
