Sam Smith’s emotional vocals in “Fire on Fire” feature on the BBC and Netflix mini-series Watership Down, an adaptation of the eponymous 1972 Richard Adams novel, which debuted 23 December 2018. The story is an unfortunate tale of a herd of rabbits living in the town of Watership Down in England.
“...
[Verse 1]
My mother said I'm too romantic
She said, "You're dancing in the movies"
I almost started to believe her
Then I saw you and I knew
Maybe it's 'cause I got a little bit older
Maybe it's all that I've been through
I'd like to think it's how you lean on my shoulder
And how I see myself with you
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't say a word
But still, you take my breath and steal the things I know
There you go, saving me from out of the cold
[Chorus]
Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms
'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eye
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire, mmm
It's fire on fire
[Verse 2]
When we fight, we fight like lions
But then we love and feel the truth
We lose our minds in a city of roses
We won't abide by any rules
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't say a word
But still, you take my breath and steal the things I know
There you go, saving me from out of the cold
[Chorus]
Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms
'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eye
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire, oh
It's fire on fire
[Bridge]
Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms
[Chorus]
Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms
'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eye
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire
[Outro]
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire
Fire on Fire was produced by Steve Mac.
Sam Smith released Fire on Fire on Fri Dec 21 2018.
This song was written for [the 2018 BBC adaptation of] Watership Down. And I wrote it when I was very much in love. It’s probably one of the only love songs I’ve written. But it’s very dramatic. Again, I think I was trying to be Céline Dion. It was about intense passion—about two people who are fire...
