Fire and Gasoline

[Verse 1] I still remember that July heat, She was dancin’ barefoot in the street. Sunlight tangled in her hair, I swore the whole world stopped right there. Her laugh cut through that summer night, Like a spark that caught my life. One look, and I could see — Trouble was comin’ straight for me. ⸻ [Chorus] She lit me up like fire and gasoline, One touch turned my heart to steam. I knew it’d burn, but I couldn’t leave, When love looked that wild, that mean. She was beauty, she was danger unseen — Yeah, she lit me up like fire and gasoline. ⸻ [Verse 2] We burned fast, and we burned true, Didn’t know what else a man could do. Every kiss felt like a flame, Every word called out my name. The night we kissed beneath that sign, The stars themselves refused to shine. Heaven knew what we’d begun, Would leave a mark that don’t come undone. ⸻ [Chorus] She lit me up like fire and gasoline, One spark, and I lost everything. Her eyes said stay, her soul said flee, But I was too far gone to see. She was beauty, she was danger unseen — Yeah, she lit me up like fire and gasoline. ⸻ [Bridge] (soft, reflective — older voice remembering) Now I’m older, and I still can’t sleep, That fire still dances when I dream. I’d take the burn, I’d take the pain, Just to feel that heat again. ⸻ [Final Chorus] (softer at first, then rises with emotion) She lit me up like fire and gasoline, And I’d do it all again, it seems. Some loves don’t fade, they just seethe — In the heart where memory bleeds. She was beauty, she was danger unseen — Yeah, she lit me up like fire and gasoline. (Outro – slide guitar slowly fading out like smoke in the distance.)
