I think that’s mainly a romantic notion of a femme fatale kind of thing or someone who seems so emotionally indestructible, but then somehow that’s often a shell or a façade. In that song, I think the character isn’t as fireproof or an invulnerable as they wish they were. I think it’s a romance song...
[Verse 1]
You keep a lot of secrets
And I keep none
Wish I could go back
And keep some
[Chorus]
You're fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You're fireproof
It's just the way you are
[Verse 2]
You tell me you're waiting
To find someone
Who isn't so hopeless
There's no one
[Chorus]
You're fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You're fireproof
How'd you get so far?
[Bridge]
You're a needle in the hay
You're the water at the door
You're a million miles away
It doesn't matter anymore
Jennifer, you are not the only reason
My head is boiling and my hands are freezing
Jennifer, you are not the only one
To sit awake until the wild feelings leave you
[Chorus]
You're fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You're fireproof
It's just the way you are
You're fireproof
It's what you always say
You're fireproof
I wish I was that way
