Lyrics
Verse 1
You come home sunburntBoots by the doorSay “I’m beat, baby”Then lean on the floorI’m right there smilingHands in my jeansWaitin’ on a little moreThan what you meanYou kiss my foreheadLike I’m made of glassThen turn on your TVAnd let the moment pass
Pre‑Chorus
So I watch youLike a loaded gunWonderin’ if I’mThe only oneWho’s gotta makeThe first move tonightIf I step in closerWould it feel right?
Chorus
Maybe I’ll start the fireMaybe I’ll pull you inMaybe I’ll be the oneTo see what happens thenDon’t make me guess foreverBaby, close the spaceIf you want this kind of lovin’Come meet me face to faceMaybe I’ll start the fireoh, maybe I willMaybe I’ll start the fire
Verse 2
I know you’re quietThat’s just your wayHard on the outsideSoft in the dayBut I got my pride tooI got my nerveAnd I’m tired of waitin’For what I deserveCould be your hands shakeCould be you’re shyCould be you’re scaredTo let it get real, I
Pre‑Chorus
So I’m standingAt the edge of usTired of the almostTired of the dustIf I say your nameAnd pull you nearWill you finally show meWhat you’ve been keepin’ here?
Chorus
Maybe I’ll start the fireMaybe I’ll pull you inMaybe I’ll be the oneTo see what happens thenDon’t make me guess foreverBaby, close the spaceIf you want this kind of lovin’Come meet me face to faceMaybe I’ll start the fireoh, maybe I willMaybe I’ll start the fire
Bridge
I don’t need a speechI don’t need a ringJust a little courageAnd one honest thingI can cross that lineIf you let me knowTell me with your handsIf you want me to stay close
Chorus
Maybe I’ll start the fireMaybe I’ll pull you inMaybe I’ll be the oneTo see what happens thenDon’t make me guess foreverBaby, close the spaceIf you want this kind of lovin’Come meet me face to faceMaybe I’ll start the fireoh, maybe I willMaybe I’ll start the fire
