You appeared at a time when I knew I was done with the broken birds
No I could not rescue them - I had me to focus on
You roared into the Corner Bar, heart-full, fierce and intelligent
Despite the grief you were standing tall,
Strong and solid in your skin
(Chorus:)
Oh baby baby you are lighting me up
Got me running on fumes and love
Got me running on fumes and love
Oh my sweet darling, all these flames of fire
Got me running on fumes and love
Got me running on fumes and love [and love, and love]
Verse Two:
You ignited the fuel inside me, detonated what I thought I’d want
Took a risk to go all-in all-the-way, and lit the wildfire in me
So moved by your earnestness, so unlike anyone I've known
No you didn’t play it cool, you were just bringing the real
(Chorus:)
Oh baby baby you are lighting me up
Got me running on fumes and love
Got me running on fumes and love
Oh my sweet darling, all these flames of fire
Got me running on fumes and love
Got me running on fumes and love [and love, and love]
Now we’re driving that long sleek road, taking in all the radiance
Engine of us purring along, as we learn the ways to head
Must remember how felt, the routes to strike the match
Complacence is not for us, let’s keep the spark ablaze
(Chorus:)
Oh baby baby you are lighting me up
Got me running on fumes and love
Got me running on fumes and love
Oh my sweet darling, all these flames of fire
Got me running on fumes and love
Got me running on fumes and love [and love, and love]
