Lyrics
Brown eyes, if you knew me better then you’d know my cool’s a lie
Each time I’m with you I’m a firefighter underneath this disguise
The longing that you spark, it ignited so long ago
Tried to hold onto my heart but it got swept away
So many years apart, we reunited like nothin’ changed
Tried to hold onto my heart, I let you slip away
Brown eyes, if you knew me better then you’d know my cool’s a lie
Each time I’m with you I’m a firefighter underneath this disguise
You got me fightin’ fire (ooo)
The flames are gettin’ higher (ooo)
I manifested you away
I didn’t think my heart could take
Holdin’ you, holdin’ you, holdin’ you
I never asked for you to stay
I’ll always live with that mistake
Wantin’ you, wantin’ you, wantin’ you
You got me fightin’ fire (ooo)
The flames are gettin’ higher (ooo)
I will always be grateful we finally said the words that we’d been holdin’ to
I will always give thanks for the hours that I got holdin’ on to you
