[Verse 1]
Keys in my hand
Front door unlocked
Half past late
Still I knock
I knock
Heart in my teeth
I bite down the fear
Every bad idea starts right here
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the warning signs
All painted in red
Still I cross that line
Like it’s all in my head
[Chorus]
Head first into the fire (into the fire)
I keep chasing that wire-thin line
Bad for me
But I climb higher
‘Cause I only feel alive on the edge of the knife
Thrill in my throat
I’m shaking
Scared inside
But I still dive
Head first into the fire
I need the burn just to know I’m alive
[Verse 2]
Laugh in the smoke
Say I’m “fine
I’m fine”
Play with the spark like it’s mine to sign
Promise I’ll stop
Then I hit repeat
Every close call feels like a heartbeat
[Pre-Chorus]
I taste the crash before
I even let go
Still I push the door
Like I don’t wanna know
[Chorus]
Head first into the fire (into the fire)
I keep chasing that wire-thin line
Bad for me
But I climb higher
‘Cause I only feel alive on the edge of the knife
Thrill in my throat
I’m shaking
Scared inside
But I still dive
Head first into the fire
I need the burn just to know I’m alive
[Bridge]
If I slow down
Will I disappear?
If I play safe
Who am I this year?
I’m praying for a sign
But I’m already mid-flight (oh)
[Chorus]
Head first into the fire (into the fire)
I keep chasing that wire-thin line
Bad for me
But I climb higher
‘Cause I only feel alive on the edge of the knife
Thrill in my throat
I’m shaking
Scared inside
But I still dive
Head first into the fire
I need the burn just to know I’m alive
