Wildfire in the Heart

Verse

Popsicle drip on the boardwalk stone

Salt on your shoulder, radio on

Cutoff shorts and a borrowed truck

Nowhere to be till the tide comes up

Sun's going down but the block still burns

Chain-link fence where the block still turns

Your hips find mine on the two-step beat

Sand in my shoes, gasoline heat

Pre-Chorus

Who says eighteen ever has to end

Who says summer ain't our only friend

Tell me you'll stay till the streetlights hum

Till the whole damn sky turns orange and numb

Chorus

Wildfire in the heart, catching on your skin

Sparks off the pavement every time we spin

Nobody's putting out where we begin

Wildfire in the heart, let it burn within

Verse

Neon slush cup melting in your hand

Boombox bass shaking the lifeguard stand

Fireflies blinking where the field goes dark

Backseat windows fogging up the park

Your laugh cuts loud over cicada song

Twelve turns to one and we don't move on

Denim jacket wrapped around your waist

Nothing 'bout tonight we wanna waste

Pre-Chorus

Who says eighteen ever has to end

Who says summer ain't our only friend

Tell me you'll stay till the streetlights hum

Till the whole damn sky turns orange and numb

Chorus

Wildfire in the heart, catching on your skin

Sparks off the pavement every time we spin

Nobody's putting out where we begin

Wildfire in the heart, let it burn within

Bridge

Maybe we're young, maybe we're reckless

Maybe this heat's the only witness

Twenty years gone, I'll still remember

Skin so bright it beat December

Chorus

Wildfire in the heart, catching on your skin

Sparks off the pavement every time we spin

Nobody's putting out where we begin

Wildfire in the heart, let it burn within
