Lyrics

Light A Fire (music and lyrics by Angela Ramsey)

You tell your friends we?re in love; I swear you sound just like an angel from above.
I?d be a fool to buy those sweet lines because you sell your pretty words to buy more time.

So how long should I wait for this romance to get a flame?
Have to burn the house down to light a fire under you.
It is the last thing that I ever thought I?d do,
But your spineless fiction shakes my friction loose..

Days drift away, chances go; you say the only way to love is to take it slow.
Don?t act surprised if I want more; if the plan?s to shut me out, then there?s the door.

But how hard should I fight to get this romance to ignite?
Have to burn the house down to light a fire under you.
It is the last thing that I ever thought I?d do,
But your spineless fiction shakes my friction loose.
Have to burn a house down to light a fire under you.
It is the last thing that I ever thought I?d do,
But your tired excuses send me through the roof.
All to light a fire.

How hard should I fight before the moment strikes you as right?
How long should I wait before it?s too late?

Have to burn the house down to light a fire under you.
It is the last thing that I ever thought I?d do,
But your spineless fiction shakes my friction loose.
Have to burn the house down to light a fire under you.
It is the last thing that I ever thought I?d do,
But your tired excuses send me through the roof.
All to light a fire.
