Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one I've left behind

A simple prop to occupy my time

This one goes out to the one I love

[Chorus]

Fire

Fire

[Verse 2]

This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one I've left behind

A simple prop to occupy my time

This one goes out to the one I love

[Chorus]

Fire (She's comin' down on her own, now)

Fire (She's comin' down on her own)

[Verse 3]

This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one I've left behind

Another prop has occupied my time

This one goes out to the one I love

[Chorus]

Fire (She's comin' down on her own, now)

Fire (She's comin' down on her own)

Fire (She's comin' down on her own, now)

Fire (She's comin' down on her own)
