already on fire lyrics

She was an orphan girl

Left out on her lonesome in a cruel world

She was thumbing out from Vegas off a Staten curse

In this town full of ashes, I knew I'd found a pearl, found a pearl

The heat of summertime

We were passionate, restless and we were running wild

There was no one could touch us, yeah her heart was mine

She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin' fine, lookin' fine

And she burned something beautiful

Yeah the burn now is unstoppable

Cuz you can't light a match that's already on fire

No you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire

She's not going down unless she's going down in flames

No you can't light a match that's already on fire

The smell of gasoline

Her smile reflected the fire that smelled like gasoline

She's a smoke show and ragin' like you ain't never seen

She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin' mean, lookin' mean

Yeah we burned something beautiful

It burns and it's unstoppable

Cuz you can't light a match that's already on fire

No you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire

She's not going down unless she's going down in flames

'Cause you can't light a match that's already on fire

Her silhouette's a vision

As she's walking from the flames

In a force of raw destruction

From an early age

No one knew what happened

The night they found her crying

A smoky mess in a tiny orphanage

As the flames were rising higher

You can't light a match that's already on fire

You can't take it back once you've crossed that wire

She's not going down unless she's going down in flames

No you can't light a match that's already on fire
