Being back here makes me hot in the face Hot blood in my pulsing veins Heavy memories weighing on my brain Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place You used to be so sweet Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street Couldn't look away even if I wanted Try to walk away but I come back to the start
Led me to the floor even though I'm not a dancer Ask me all the questions that your parents wouldn't answer How could I deny it, diamond in the rough You let me in your world until you had enough You knew that I wanted you to bend the rules How did I believe I had a hold on you? You were always stronger than people suspected Underestimated and overprotected When I went away it was the only option Couldn't trust myself to proceed with caution The most that I could give to you is nothing at all The best that I could offer was to miss your calls
Being back here makes me hot in the face Hot blood in my pulsing veins Heavy memories weighing on my brain Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place You used to be so sweet Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street Couldn't look away even if I wanted Try to walk away but I come back to the start
And it happens over and over, and over and over again Over and over, and over and over again I wish I was over it, over it, over it, over it
A hidden gem, my own goldmine You had the wide and wild eyes You were a secret to yourself You couldn't keep from anyone else Now you're the biggest brightest flame You are a fire that can't be tamed You're better than ever, but I knew you when It's bittersweet to see you again
