"Light The Match" lyrics

"Light The Match"

I want to start a fire in your heart tonight
Oh tell me why do I so yearn to cause trouble?
I need you to be mine in the summertime
When the days are long and the nights are slow and sweet

But why do you turn and shield your eyes?
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly, for I mean every word

You flicker, you amaze me
Your lips illuminate me
I want your eyes to tell me I'm the only flame
My glow it will attract you, my smoke will push you back
Until you call again please arsonist attack

But why do you turn and shield your eyes?
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly, for I mean every word

I'll just light the match
And the flames will catch

But why do you turn and shield your eyes?
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly, for I mean every word
