Lyrics
Hand in the fire
When I realized the power there behind those eyes
Like an ember in a bed of coal
I reached for the flame to warm my soul
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire
Oh my poor heart yearns
Like a fool with matches I might get burned
Still when I hear your name
I feel my heart engulfed in flames
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire
One look in your eyes
And I'm falling through perilous skies
I touch your face and completely lose my place
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire
