(Verse 1)
Never crossed my mind, not even once, you see
Just a friend, a constant, that was the decree
Laughter shared, late-night talks, nothing more, it's true
Then your words tonight landed, something brand new
(Pre-Chorus)
My cheeks went hot, a silly, sudden heat
Then that old familiar rush, oh, bittersweet
Butterflies inside, a nervous little flight
I felt them wake up suddenly in the fading light
(Chorus)
Had to walk away, mumbled some excuse I made
Tried to tell this feeling, "Hold on, don't invade!"
But it's no use, no use at all, the signal's getting strong
Didn't mean a thing, you're just being nice, where did I go wrong?
(Verse 2)
Don't let myself fall down, that rabbit hole again
This fragile little spark, could it be the end?
'Cause something shifted, something caught, a flicker in the air
And this tiny little flame, could turn to a wildfire, I swear
(Pre-Chorus)
My cheeks went hot, a silly, sudden heat
Then that old familiar rush, oh, bittersweet
Butterflies inside, a nervous little flight
I felt them wake up suddenly in the fading light
(Chorus)
Had to walk away, mumbled some excuse I made
Tried to tell this feeling, "Hold on, don't invade!"
But it's no use, no use at all, the signal's getting strong
Didn't mean a thing, you're just being nice, where did I go wrong?
(Bridge)
Good thing you're a firefighter, with a steady hand and true
So please, put this flame out, before it burns right through
I don't wanna get burned again, don't need no more scars to mend
Don't need to drink another memory down, until the bitter end
(Chorus)
Had to walk away, mumbled some excuse I made
Tried to tell this feeling, "Hold on, don't invade!"
But it's no use, no use at all, the signal's getting strong
Didn't mean a thing, you're just being nice, where did I go wrong?
(Outro)
Don't let me cross the line, the one you didn't draw
Don't let this little spark, break every single law
Just a friend, just a friend, that's what we're supposed to be
Don't let this wildfire burn, don't let it consume me.
