Mirah - Light the Match lyrics

rate me

I want to start a fire in your heart tonight.

Oh, tell me why do I so yearn to cause trouble?

I need you to be mine in the summertime,

when the days are long and the nights are slow and sweet.

But why do you turn and shield your eyes?

Do I burn too brightly?

Oh, don't take my love lightly, for I mean every word.

You flicker, you amaze me.

Your lips illuminate me.

I want your eyes to tell me I'm the only flame.

My glow; it will attract you, my smoke will push you back

Until you call again, please arsonist, attack.

But why do you turn and shield your eyes?

Do I burn too brightly?

Oh, don't take my love lightly, for I mean every word.

I'll just light the match,

And the flames will catch...

But why do you turn and shield your eyes?

Do I burn too brightly?

Oh, don't take my love lightly, for I mean every word.
