Didn't see it coming, in that black dress
Dancing across the wire
I was so careful, you were reckless
Always a wildfire

That night I was waking at the sunset
My hands were trembling
You stole a bottle from the cabinet
You showed me everything

I wasn't ready when she took me over
16, alone in the darkness
I wanted everything she gave me
Wildfire

Jumping fences through the backyards
Chasing a summer crush
It's independence for the young parts
Nobody's stopping us
Nobody's stopping us

I wasn't ready when she took me over
16, alone in the darkness
I wanted everything she gave me
Wildfire

All this time away
I remember
And I won't be the same
Again

I can't forget the way I felt then
She burned this boy down
Someday I'll drive back to the ocean
Maybe she'll come around
Maybe she'll come around

Always a wildfire
Always a wildfire
