She crossed hersCelf as she put Emon her things
She has Cpromised once before not to Emlive this way
If she don’t calm Fdown she will burn herself Cout
Like a forest Dmfire, well dFoesn’t that make you Csmile
CIf you don’t slow down, I swear that I’ll come Emround
And mess up your Cplace, let’s go for a Emspin
They say we shouldn’t even Fknow each other
And that we’ll be unCdone
Don’t it make you Dmsmile Flike a forest Cfire
I believe in love, I’ll believe in anything
That’s gonna get me what I want and get me off my knees
Then we’ll burn your house down, don’t it feel so good
There’s a forest fire every time we get together
CDoo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo Emdoo doo doo doo 
CDoo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo Emdoo doo doo doo 
Hey Fpick you up, put you down
Rip you up and spin you round
Just Clike we said we would
’cause we’re a Dmforest fire
Believe you Fme, we’ll tear this place Cdown
If we get caught in this wind then we could burn the ocean
If we get caught in this scene we’re gonna be undone
It’s just a simple metaphor, it’s for a burning love
Don’t it make you smile like a forest fire
