“Fire” is about the feeling you get when you’re with a lover. Jessie explains that her lover is the “fire” in her life, which could be a metaphor for the feeling of being warm and ‘loved-up" and she is saying that she never wants the fire to go out, because then, her relationship would be over.
[Verse 1]
He is the flame, he draws me in
That burns within
It's a pain so sweet, oh
The fix, the craze, by now he needs
Only I can breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
And I just can't pull away
Can't get away, oh, oh
[Chorus]
From the fire, fire, fire (Woo-ooh)
I never wanna put it out
Burnin', burnin', burnin' (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh)
Fire, fire, fire (Woo-ooh)
I never wanna put it out
Burnin', burnin', burnin'
[Verse 2]
My hands, they're burnt, they're black, they bleed
In embers, I sleep
My whole world is cold now
The blaze, the heat is putting out
Can't live without
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I just can't pull away
Can't get away, oh, oh
[Chorus]
From the fire, fire, fire (Woo-ooh)
I never wanna put it out
Burnin', burnin', burnin' (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh)
From the fire, fire, fire (Woo-ooh)
I never wanna put it out
Burnin', burnin', burnin'
[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, woah-oh
[Outro]
Fire (Fire), fire (Oh)
Fire (Fire), oh
Burnin' my soul now, my soul now
My soul now (Soul now), my soul now (Soul now)
My soul now (Soul now), my soul now (Soul now)
From the fire, fire, fire (Woo-oh)
I never wanna put it out
Burnin', burnin', burnin'
Oh-oh, oh-oh (Woo-oh)
Oh-oh, woah-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, woah-oh
