Firefighter Love Song

I can't conceal my love for you

My lips quiver, eyes are hazed

My skin's a roaring blaze

I need a fire escape

Or I'll burn down this place

You look my way and there go the sirens

Ringing out loud and red like stop signs

I'm a 3 alarm fire, burning hotter 

kindled quick by your firestarter

Don't you dare run away from me this time,

you'd better extinguish what you began to rhyme,

Smoke is rising from my ears

Heat builds from deep inside

You lit this eternal funeral pyre

Expecting me to die

But I'm here for you

I'm not running back inside

Ghosted but not gone

Singing another love song

I know it won't be long

Until you carry me away in your arms

Fighting true fires with sound waves

Will surely put a fireman in his grave

If I were your firefighter

I'd live life a whole lot brighter

but Fighting life without you, friend

Is not a party I ever want to attend
