Wildfire Lyrics by Ben Rector

The Walking in Between

2013

[Verse 1]
Never was much good at hoping
Until you took my heart and tore it open
Never understood what love was
Until I took your hand with the Lord above us

[Chorus]
And then you caught flame like a wildfire
You came running into my life
And you light up the dark but I can't see
How you belong to a boy like me
How you belong to a boy like me

[Verse 2]
I have learned that you're not perfect
And that sometimes the one you love can burn you
It's just the fools looking backwards
A bitter heart turns the love we made to ashes
A bitter heart turns the love we made to ashes

[Chorus]
And then you caught flame like a wildfire
When I'm with you I'm so alive
And you light up the dark but I can't see
How you belong to a boy like me
How you belong to a boy like me

[Bridge]
When you love someone they're gonna hurt you
When you love someone they're gonna burn you
But don't let that burn you down

[Chorus]
'Cause you cut flame like a wildfire
When I'm with you I'm so alive
And you light up the dark but I can't see
How you belong to a boy like me
How you belong to a boy like me
