+ Show full styles

[Instrumental] [Intro] [Audio Texture: Night ambience, soft rain] [Solo Acoustic Guitar - Gentle fingerpicking] [Melancholic and slow] (Hush now...) [Verse 1] [Vocals - Soft, barely singing] I feel the heat, but the flame hasn't caught... Just the slow, aching knowledge of the battle I've fought. I'm standing here trembling, giving silence its due... Before the whole damn sky starts screaming for you. [Verse 2] [Guitar continues steady] I saw the signs, they were flashing red light. Said walk away, girl, run straight through the night. But you're lying right here, looking like fun. Guess I always liked dancing too close to the sun. I'm a fool for the trouble that lives in your eyes. I’m gonna take a risk that the devil would buy. [Chorus] [Vocals - Breathless and tender] My heart's on fire for that thing you are. Every thought of you sets me ablaze like a star. I want so bad to touch you, can you feel me yearn? Or will you lie there and watch me burn? I’m gonna crash into your world and take the fallout. Yeah, this beautiful, reckless love is all out. [Bridge] [Guitar picking gets faster, more anxious] [Vocals - Whispered Intensity] While I'm stuck on you, what am I missing? What am I missing while I'm stuck on wishing it was you I was kissing? [Voice breaks] This obsession is stealing the sunlight I crave! (The dream I couldn't save...) [Pre-Chorus 2] [Music drops to almost silence] [Vocals - A realization, spoken softly] Is the one I'm meant for really you? Or is she just waiting for me to finally see... That the love I need won't come from you! [Pause] But I can't stop chasing this crazy dream... [Whispered - shaking] And all I can do is scream. [Chorus] [Vocals - The softest part of the song] [Resolving the tension] My heart's on fire for that thing you are. Every thought of you sets me ablaze like a star. I want so bad to touch you, can you feel me yearn? Or will you lie there... and watch me burn? [Outro] [Guitar slows down] [Vocals - Fading] You're the dream made real. (Just watch me burn.) Sleep now. [Final chord rings out] [End]
