[Verse 1]
Door clicks while his wheels start spinning on the pavement
And I go fill the space up where he has been staying
Won't lose much sleep, he never went that deep
"Love you," oh, you sweet thing, no, I never said that
Let me hold your ego while you get your bag packed
Don't take this the wrong way
But when the spade shows up, I call it by its first name
[Chorus]
We were, we were never gonna catch fire
We'd've burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold
But I do now, so I'll know
What it feels like when I feel fire, fire
[Post-Chorus]

Fire
[Verse 2]
Talk, touch, kiss, then this one's just like all the others
And I know all too well that I want deeper waters
I held my breath to swim

[Chorus]
We were, we were never gonna catch fire
We'd've burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold
But I do now, so I'll know
What it feels like when I feel fire, fire
[Bridge]
That comes-and-stays fire
On-blood-and-veins fire
I've only ever wanted fire
In my chest, in my mouth, on my tongue, in my mind
In my soul, so my lungs can breathe in fire
[Chorus]
We'd've burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold
But I do now, so I'll know
What it feels like when I feel fire, fire

I had a relationship that kind of fizzled in a way that was really clarifying. It was just one of those things where I walked away from it and I was like “oh…”
[The song] is about the realization and the perspective of, “this is who you actually are, and we were never gonna catch fire.” We’re drawn...
