Set the World on Fire

She walks in like a loaded gun,

Short fuse, yeah, she’s the only one

Dark hair falling like a midnight sin,

And I swear to God, I’m caving in

Yeah, she don’t talk much, she don’t need to speak,

Got a quiet kind of chaos underneath

And when she looks up, I forget my name—

Like the whole damn world just fades to gray

And I’ve been numb for so damn long…

But she hits like a right gone wrong

[Chorus] (big, melodic, gritty)

Those eyes—yeah they cut straight through me

Like nothing else in this world could move me

I’d burn it down just to keep her safe

Every skyline, every goddamn place

If the dark comes crawling, I’ll take the fight

Put my soul on the line every single night

Yeah I’d lose it all, I got nothing to prove—

Long as she’s still standing when the smoke cuts through

She’s got storms buried under her skin,

Little scars she don’t let nobody in

But I see ‘em, yeah I feel ‘em too,

Like her pain’s something I was born to use

She don’t ask, but I’d still bleed out,

Rip my heart just to drown her doubts

And if the world tries dragging her down—

I’ll be the fire that burns it to the ground

Yeah I know I’m walking a thin, thin line…

But I’d cross every one just to make her mine

Those eyes—yeah they cut straight through me

Like nothing else in this world could move me

I’d burn it down just to keep her safe

Every skyline, every goddamn place

If the dark comes crawling, I’ll take the fight

Put my soul on the line every single night

Yeah I’d lose it all, I got nothing to prove—

Long as she’s still breathing when the smoke breaks through

[Breakdown / Bridge] (heavier, half-time, raw)

Say the word and I’ll go to war

Kick in heaven’s or hell’s front door

I don’t care what it costs me now—

She’s the only truth I’ve ever found

Let ‘em come, let the whole world try—

I’ll be the last one left alive

Yeah I’d tear this place apart for her…

Watch it all fucking burn for her

[Final Chorus] (bigger, emotional push)

Those eyes—yeah they own my heartbeat

Like a drug and I don’t wanna be free

I’d burn it down just to keep her safe

Every memory, every shattered place

If the end comes crashing in tonight

I’ll stand between her and the fight

Yeah I’d lose it all, yeah I’d take the fall—

If it means she never breaks at all

[Outro] (melodic, fading grit)

Short girl… dark hair… world in her stare…

And I swear… yeah I swear…

Nothing else even matters there
