[Verse 1]
You pull up in that old Ford
Tires spittin' red dust in my drive
Smell of smoke on your jacket
Trouble leanin' heavy in your eyes
You say you're done with your demons
Swear you left that bottle in the past
But your hands shake on my front step
Like a match that wants to catch
[Chorus]
We keep playin' with fire
Takin' it higher
Kissin' on a porch like the world's on a wire
Baby
We burn
But we still return
To the heat
To the hurt
To the afterburn
Yeah
We swear we're tired of gettin' burned alive
But you and I
We keep playin' with fire
[Verse 2]
Sunday talk in the kitchen
Mama sayin' “boy
She'll break your bones”
I just laugh
Change the subject
But your name's carved deep in my phone
Every time that you call me
I’m right back at your front door
Two sparks in a dry field
Darin' the night to want more
[Chorus]
We keep playin' with fire
Takin' it higher
Kissin' on a porch like the world's on a wire
Baby
We burn
But we still return
To the heat
To the hurt
To the afterburn
Yeah
We swear we're tired of gettin' burned alive
But you and I
We keep playin' with fire
[Bridge]
Maybe one day it rains
Puts out every flame we lit (oh yeah)
But I see that grin
And I know damn well
We ain't done with this
[Chorus]
We keep playin' with fire
Takin' it higher
Kissin' on a porch like the world's on a wire
Baby
We burn
But we still return
To the heat
To the hurt
To the afterburn
Yeah
We swear we're tired of gettin' burned alive
But you and I
Yeah
You and I
We keep playin' with fire
