Set Me on Fire Lyrics

We write books but never finish them
Always skipping pages, to the end
I couldn't keep you in suspense,
Nothing thrills anymore
Don't I tempt you anymore?
Writers of the classic sort,
Dead romantics right down to our cores
But then I get tired, and you get bored
Waiting for me to say, something new and brave
That will change you evil ways


Oh how a lonely heart desires,
To be set on fire
With the words that won't expire:
You set me on fire

I live my life a bit too free
Waiting for you to discover me
But then our bodies touch, and we can't breathe
Oh it was way to smothering, it was suffocating me
In everything we'd be

Oh how a lonely heart desires,
To be set on fire
With the words that won't expire:
You set me on fire
How a lonely heart desires,
To be set on fire
With the words that won't expire:
You set me on fire

You left me here, you left me right
And fled poetically into the night
You were gorgeous but not worth my time
You weren't worth my time

You set me on fire
You set me on fire
How a lonely heart desires,
To be set on fire
With the words that won't expire:
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
You set me on fire!
