Cover art for Firefight lyrics by Jimmy Eat World

This song seems to be about being with someone and the moment being right and being swallowed up in the passion, the "firefight"... Not letting the transgressions and other sins against love that happened in the past interfere (Silver eyes of temptress). The person the author is talking to is considering leaving and the author won't change/leave their feelings behind (if you let go then that's where time will stand)...

great song
