Hearts on Fire
Igniting Love's Flame: Steve Winwood's Hearts on Fire Meaning
Lyrics
Night was falling and my chances were low
Nightfall, low chances, feeling uneventful
Nothing was happening, I was ready to go
Nothing happening, ready to leave
Then I saw her walking through that door
Noteworthy entrance of a person
And I knew right then I had to get me some more
Immediate attraction, desire for more
Moved up close, up next to the bar
Moving closer to the bar
There she sat, lookin' like a movie star
Subject's captivating appearance
Went up and asked her, 'Do you mind if I sit?'
Approaching, asking permission to sit
She said, 'No, but if you see a chance, you'd better take it.'
Encouragement to seize opportunities
Just the two of us sat talking together
Engaging in conversation together
The music and people all drifting away
Distraction from surroundings
Hearts on fire, burning with love
Intense romantic feelings
We were written in the stars above
Destined connection, written in fate
Take us higher to the things that we know
Aspiring for elevated experiences
There's no other place we can go
Limited options, committed to each other
Told her everything that happened to me
Sharing personal experiences
A thousand limousines and the women for free
Luxurious lifestyle and casual relationships
She said, 'That's when these words'll ring true
Insight on true significance of love
You ain't nobody 'till somebody loves you.'
Validation through love from others
Love came to me the minute I saw her
Instant connection, desire to include in life
I wanted to make her part of my life
Wishing to make a lasting connection
Just the two of us sat talking together
Continuation of meaningful conversation
I wanted to make her part of my life
Desire to integrate the person into life
