Wildfire
Love's Wildfire: Embracing Imperfections and Rising from Ashes
Lyrics
I never was much good at hoping
I lacked skill in hoping or optimism.
Until you took my heart and tore it open
Your actions exposed my vulnerable heart.
Never understood what love was
I never comprehended the true nature of love.
Until I took your hand with the Lord above us
I understood love when holding your hand with a divine presence.
And then you caught flame like a wildfire
You ignited like a wildfire, passionately entering my life.
You came running into my life
You rushed into my life.
And you light up the dark but I can't see
You bring light, but I struggle to see how you fit with someone like me.
How you belong to a boy like me
Expressing doubt about your compatibility with me.
How you belong to a boy like me
Reiteration of uncertainty about your fit with me.
And I have learned that you're not perfect
Realization that you are not flawless.
And that sometimes the one you love can burn you
Acknowledgment that love from someone imperfect can hurt.
It's just the fools looking backwards
Reflection on the folly of looking back in love.
A bitter heart turns the love we made to ashes
A resentful heart can turn our love into ruins.
A bitter heart turns the love we made to ashes
Reiteration of the destructive power of resentment in love.
And then you caught flame like a wildfire
You ignited like a wildfire, making me feel truly alive.
When I'm with you I'm so alive
Feeling alive when with you.
And you light up the dark but I can't see
You bring light, but I struggle to see how you fit with someone like me.
How you belong to a boy like me
Expressing doubt about your compatibility with me.
How you belong to a boy like me
Reiteration of uncertainty about your fit with me.
When you love someone they're gonna hurt you
Love involves inevitable pain.
When you love someone they're gonna burn you
Love has the potential to cause emotional wounds.
But don't let that burn you down
Advising not to let the pain consume or defeat you.
'Cause you caught flame like a wildfire
You ignited like a wildfire, making me feel truly alive.
When I'm with you I'm so alive
Feeling alive when with you.
And you light up the dark but I can't see
You bring light, but I struggle to see how you fit with someone like me.
How you belong to a boy like me
Expressing doubt about your compatibility with me.
How you belong to a boy like me
Reiteration of uncertainty about your fit with me.
