Lyrics
Verse 1
Expressing regret or unintended speech
Didn't mean to talk like that
Acknowledging that words spoken cannot be undone
Ain't nobody can take it back
Affirming the irreversible nature of past actions
You and I were never meant to be friends
Stating that the speaker and the other person were never meant to be friends
So tell me can I make first move
Asking permission to take the initiative in their relationship
Cause I got a lot to lose
Highlighting the stakes involved due to personal vulnerability
Now you're on my body I can't pretend
Admitting the impact of the other person being physically close
Pre Chorus
Entering a pre-chorus section
Ooh girl yeah you got me locked down in a place I've never known
Describing the feeling of being emotionally confined by the other person
No point in playing it cool cause you know my covers blown
Rejecting the need to act aloof due to a compromised situation
Chorus
Entering the chorus section
Give me that fire love
Expressing a desire for passionate love
Cause I ain't high enough
Stating the current emotional state is not sufficient
We got one shot for us
Acknowledging the limited opportunity for their connection
So gimme that fire, that fire, fire love
Repeating the plea for intense love
Verse 2
Entering the second verse
I wanna see ya let ya guard down
Encouraging the other person to be vulnerable
All night cause we're here right now
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment
We got something more than what we started
Asserting that their connection has evolved
So close that we're skin to skin
Describing physical closeness
Ain't nobody made me feel like this
Affirming a unique emotional experience
I just wanna find out where your heart is
Expressing a desire to understand the other person's emotions
Pre Chorus
Entering another pre-chorus section
Ooh girl yeah you got me locked down in a place I've never known
Reiterating emotional confinement by the other person
No point in playing it cool cause you know my covers blown
Emphasizing the futility of pretending indifference
Chorus
Returning to the chorus
Give me that fire love
Reiterating the plea for passionate love
Cause I ain't high enough
Reaffirming dissatisfaction with the current emotional state
We got one shot for us
Stressing the limited opportunity for their connection
So gimme that fire, that fire, fire love
Repeating the plea for intense love
Middle 8
Entering the middle 8 section
Give me that fire love
Reiterating the desire for passionate love
Cause I ain't high enough
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current emotional state
We got one shot for us
Highlighting the limited opportunity for their connection
So gimme that fire, that fire, fire love
Repeating the plea for intense love
