Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
It's crazy
It's crazy
Come on, come on, yeah
I wanna tell you really
Oh, yeah, all I, all I know, yeah
Hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
I wanna know, yeah
[Verse 1]
Hey, baby, how you doin' tonight?
I wanna let you know
I wanna tell you just how I feel
I wanna love you, baby
And it's going so right
I wanna burn a candle
Turn the darkness to light
[Chorus]
With the fire we make
It's getting hotter and hotter
Like a moth to a flame
I can't stay away
From the fire we make
It's getting higher and higher
Like the night to the day
I can't stay away
No, no, no
Yeah
No
Oh, yeah
No, no
Stay away
[Verse 2]
Hi baby, won't you tell me the truth?
You wanna be the one
You can't stay away
Oh, hey, darling
Don't you make no excuse
We can chase the sun
And burn the hole inside you
[Chorus]
From the fire we make
It's getting hotter and hotter
Like a moth to a flame
I can't stay away
With the fire we make
It's getting higher and higher
Like the night to the day
I can't stay, I can't stay away
[Bridge]
This abyss of the world
And it takes us to the stars
It's getting higher and higher
[Chorus]
It's the fire we make
It's the fire we make
Getting sweeter and sweeter
Like a night to a day
'Bout to make up these flames
I can't stay away
Say it's, no, no (Yeah)
No, no, no, no
Can't stay away (Baby, can't stay away)
No, no (No, you can't)
No, no (Baby, baby, baby)
No, no
Ah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (Yeah)
[Outro]
I-I-I-I-I, I
I wanna tell you babe
I gonna love you now
I just wanna stay with you
I can't be done
I just can't stay away
I wanna make so much fire with you, baby
I wanna go, gonna go to you darling, ah (Woo)
I say, yeah, yeah (That's right)
