From the recording Boys & Eros
Lyrics
First time I saw you
I saw our history
Spread out before us
Waiting like a summer heat
I was like dry leaves
And you struck a match
Stuck out your right hand
Just to see me catch
Fire in the heart sends smoke into the head
I meant to fall in love, but fell apart instead
Now I am crawling
So afraid I'll choke
Can't find an exit
Through the thick black smoke
I hear a siren
Come to rescue me
They better hurry
’Cause I am growing weak
Fire in the heart sends smoke into the head
I meant to fall in love, but fell apart instead
And this sweltering heat
Is too much to take
I gave you my heart
And you made it break
I know I'll make it
Because it's always worse
Before it's better
And now the smoke's dispersed
And ’though I’ve suffered
From your arson
If you leave now
I will grant you pardon
But this sweltering heat
Is too much to take
I gave you my heart
And I will make you pay
