(Slow burn into a thick distorted riff, mid-tempo groove, raspy vocals full of gravel and heart.)
[Verse 1]
Met her under that rusted sign
Gas station glow, quarter past nine
Black boots, bad smile, cherry lips
Trouble was hangin’ on her fingertips
She said “you look bored, let’s make a mess”
I laughed, said “baby, I was born for less”
We tore off down that two-lane road
Hearts on fire, nowhere to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Radio loud, her hand on mine
Every line we crossed felt like a sign
[Chorus]
We were wild, we were wrong
Just a spark in the dark, burnin’ strong
Chasin’ ghosts, chasin’ heat
Every sin tasted sweet
Didn’t care what the morning’d bring
Just her laugh, her breath, that sting
We were young, we were free
Yeah, she lit that fuse in me
[Verse 2]
Smoke rings in a motel room
Whiskey breath and cheap perfume
We talked like we’d never been hurt
Layin’ low in the wreck and dirt
She said “life’s too short to play it clean”
I said “hell yeah, you know what I mean”
Two fools tangled up in lust
Trustin’ nothin’ but the rush
[Pre-Chorus]
The night ran red, our hearts stayed numb
Every kiss was a loaded gun
[Chorus]
We were wild, we were wrong
Just a spark in the dark, burnin’ strong
Chasin’ ghosts, chasin’ heat
Every sin tasted sweet
Didn’t care what the morning’d bring
Just her laugh, her breath, that sting
We were young, we were free
Yeah, she lit that fuse in me
[Bridge]
Now when I see that stretch of road
I still feel her pullin’ my soul
Like a habit I can’t unlearn
Like a match that’ll always burn
[Final Chorus]
We were wild, we were wrong
Still hear that old love song
Echo through my veins each night
When the stars cut through the light
Didn’t care what the morning’d bring
Just her laugh, her breath, that sting
We were young, we were free
Yeah, she lit that fuse in me
[Outro]
Some fires fade, some never die
Ours still smokes in the back of my mind
