Build a Fire Lyrics by Patty Smyth

It’s About Time

2020

Pull the car off the road, pull me close, turn the engine off
I feel the wind and your hands in my hair, yeah, you're talking soft
My red dress slipping sticking to my skin tonight
Pull me down across the seat under you above the city lights
[Chorus]
My hands must be tattooed all over you by now
I placed a million crazy kisses on your mouth
I've been holding you so long I've lost all track of time
Only you can take me higher, baby you and I can still build a fire
I love how your touch always knows had a read my mind
You are the place that I need to be baby take your time
There's a steady hum and come in from thе Interstate
Rocksteady's on thе radio let it play
[Chorus]
My hands must be tattooed all over you by now
I placed a million hungry kisses on your mouth
I've been holding you so long I've lost all track of time
Cause only you can take me higher, baby you and I can still build a fire
Bridge
A fire like the first time you took me to the edge, I love the way you're never gonna let me catch my breath
