It starts with fingers up my t-shirt You whisper in my ear over the speakers You say hello, but it sounds like heartache You know I can only get so close to your flame Starting fires Starting fires I can't put out Starting fires Starting fires I can't put out With every look you're striking matches There's a drop of gasoline in every last kiss Don't ya lean in, don't ya touch me If in the morning you ain't gonna want me Starting fires Starting fires I can't put out Starting fires Starting fires I can't put out I got a one drink fuse and looking at you You make that whiskey burn so smooth Can't stop it now, when you're dancing around This half lit room like a flickering lighter More you move the more I get higher And there ain't no doubt, you know exactly what you're doing Starting fires Starting fires I can't put out Starting fires Starting fires I can't put out I end up kissing you In the back of a yellow cab But I'll wake up missing you Why's it always got to end like that?
