My head was like a flame It was burning up, burning up It was burning up Well we all get strange And we know it But we're cool with it And we all get a little bit older In this day and age But we deal with it

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer So leave that click in my head But you know your desire Don't hold a glass over the flame Don't let your heart grow cold I will call you by name I will share your road But hold me fast, hold me fast And hold me fast, hold

Strike a match and set me on fire Watch it burn and flames getting higher You light me up, sweet old desire So won’t you come close to my fire? Close to my fire Ain’t no need to tell me why Baby, it’s cold when you’re gone Don’t make me wait, wait too

I'd like to have that one back I wouldn't here my poor heart saying Heard somebody speak her name They said she was still looking fine I could feel that same old flame I once felt when she was mine Always thought that I was missing something But I found

Strike a match and set me on fire Watch it burn and flames getting higher You light me up, sweet old desire So won’t you come close to my fire? Close to my fire Ain’t no need to tell me why Baby, it’s cold when you’re gone Don’t make me wait, wait too

But no flame burns forever, oh no You and I both know this all too well And most don't even last the night One last time Just one last time With the twilight No they don't, they say they don't Without holding back my mind Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins

I can see the flames and my life Flashing right before my eyes. I hope they get to me in time. I'm eight years old Daddy's cuttin' my hair Aqua Velva on his hands. Momma's in the kitchen Got fried green tomatoes

I never should have told you I never should have let you see inside Don't want it troubling in your mind Won't you let it be And I could easily lose my mind The way you kiss me will work each time Pulling me back into the flames And I'm burning up again,

Put my fears behind Before I fall The cold is real, now that I know I know that I can find The meaning of it all I know you bleed for me A journey with open eyes From darkness to light The scars I feel, but I won't let go (won't let go)

My old flame I can't even think of his name I've met so many men With fascinating ways A fascinating gaze in their eyes Some who sent me up to the skies But their attempts at love Were only imitations of But I'll never be the same
