Story Behind The Song

Skirt is on Fire was written about no one particular girl, but rather everyone any of us have ever known who has done something bad and only half regrets it. It can even be about ourselves.

Song Description

Skirt is on Fire is a cheeky song depicting one girl`s sneaky night out. While she feels guilty for doing whatever she`s done (cheated, lied, etc.) she`s still somewhat satisfied because sometimes, feeling bad feels good. They key, however, is not digging oneself too deep in lies - and not getting caught.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Pavement's wet and black as you slip-toe down the street
Moon's behind the clouds and your footsteps keep the beat
Of your racing heart as you hurry home too late
on a weekday

Wind slams shut the door and you step into the warmth
You hear a tap drip and the clock tick and you think back to those arms

Pre-Chorus 1:
You smile when you're nervous
And you flirt when you're down

Chorus:
You'd take back the night if you could
You'd take back the night
You'd take back the night if you could
'Cause you're a sneaky, filthy liar and your skirt is on fire

Verse 2:
Slip into the cool sheets after climbing up the stairs
Trees dance shadows on the walls and you breathe in sinner's air
And it tastes much sweeter than candy ever has
And you slide into sleep with a smile

Pre-Chorus 2:
And you'll wake just as guilty
In the morning light

Bridge:
Run, run, run a little faster
This fire is gettin' a little hotter
Dig, dig, dig yourself deeper
