[intro (8 bars – instrumentaL] [Verse 1- RASP MALE VOICE] The night comes down, I feel your heat, Your shadow moving next to me, Your name is loud inside my chest, I breathe you in, I lose the rest. The moon is low, the world stands still, Every touch bends me to your will, I’m standing right on beauty’s edge, One step away, no safety net. Don’t let this moment slip away, One kiss could change my life tonight. Set me on fire, set me on fire, Light me up, take me higher, I don’t want safe, I don’t want slow, I want your love to lose control. Set me on fire, let me burn, This is the lesson I will learn. [Verse 2-dentical to Verse 1 – same guitar muting, same drum groove.Slight variation: add subtle lead guitar licks answering vocal lines (quiet in the mix).] Your voice hits hard like summer rain, Your hands erase my doubt and pain, The clock breaks down when you’re this close, I need you now—no almost, no ghosts. The stars look down and fade away, They know we’re stealing light tonight, If this is wrong, don’t save my soul, I want the fall, I want the fight. [Pre-Chorus-Same as Pre-Chorus 1, but slightly bigger – more open hi-hat, louder backing “whoa-ohs”.] [MALE RASP VOICE ] Don’t turn your eyes, don’t make me wait, I’m standing here, wide open, bare. Set me on fire, set me on fire, Light me up, take me higher, I don’t want safe, I don’t want slow, I want your love to lose control. Set me on fire, let me burn, This is the lesson I will learn. [RASP MALE VOICE ] If I go down, I go in flames, Say my name, say my name, I’d rather break than feel nothing, I’d rather burn than fade away. [MALE RASP VOICE ] Set me on fire, set me on fire, Hold me close, pull me tighter, No looking back, no second line, If this is wrong, then make it mine. Set me on fire, let me burn, I won’t be safe—I won’t return. [OUTRO] Set me on fire .... Set me on fire ....
