King of the Fire

600 miles i have driven, 
i've come a long way 
600 songs i have sung, 
yes, it's been a long day 

the car is a mess and 
thought i'd learned my lesson 
about you and me by now 
but you know what my head's like 
i seem to forget stuff 
as soon as it gets in somehow 

i said "see for yourself and 
then tell me your eyes didn't hurt" 
i said "see for yourself and 
then tell me she isn't a flirt" 

and i'm standing here trying 
i'm standing here dying 
i'm standing here vying for your eyes 
but i know to hide it, 
yes, i know to fight it 

you know, it's a perfect disguise 
you said "baby you roam 
why don't you come home?" 
then you picked me up and 
you put me on the bed and you said 

"baby, i love you, you know that i love you 
you know i think of you 
so much 
now hold me and kiss me 
and tell me you never did miss me 
or my touch" 

tell me I am the one, 
tell me I am the only one in your life 
tell me you've never felt like this 
tell me I never leave your mind 

i already told you 
but you are so bold to 
try what no-one's achieved in the past 
but the way you touch me 
and the way you watch me- 
i'm losing my senses at last 

can you feel my pain? 
do you know how I want the rain 
to come down on you now? 
i cannot think straight 
you're making me hate 
all the ones who thought could make me bow 

forgetting all the hurt 
brushing away the dirt 
of all the love that I grieved 
oh, he is making me 
oh, he is breaking the 
air that has never been breathed 

here i am with you 
i'm feeling the same 
here i am with you 
my head echoes your name 

king of the fire 
king of the ball 
king of desire 
now don't make me fall
