Build a Fire

Pull the car off the road, pull me close turn the engine off
I feel the wind and your hands in my hair, yeah, you're talking soft
My red dress slipping, sticking to my skin tonight
Pull me down across the seat under you above the city lights
My hands must be tattooed all over you by now
I placed a million crazy kisses on your mouth
I've been holding you so long, I've lost all track of time
Only you can take me higher, baby, you and I can still build a fire
I love how your touch always knows had a read my mind
You are the place that I need to be, baby, take your time
There's a steady hum and come in from the Interstate
It's Rocksteady's on the radio, let it play
My hands must be tattooed all over you by now
I placed a million hungry kisses on your mouth
I've been holding you so long, I've lost all track of time
Cause only you can take me higher, baby, you and I can still build a fire
A fire like the first time you took me to the edge
I love the way you're never gonna let me catch my breath
My hands must be tattooed all over you by now
I placed a million hungry kisses on your mouth
I've been holding you so long, I've lost all track of time
Cause only you can take me higher, baby, you and I can still build a fire
