Still On Fire

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - detuned electric guitar, mournful piano, brushed drums, deep male lead with smoky phrasing, female backup shadows]
We been down this road
For a long, long while
Same old table
Same slow smile

You catch my eye
Across the room
And just like then
I’m back in bloom

[Pre-Chorus - bass creeps in, Vocaloid harmony layers rise, tension building, male lead leaning closer, female counterline answering]
I still get shook
When you lean in close
Hands start talking
You already know

A little look
Sets my skin on flame
After all these years
I still love the way you say my name

[Chorus - full half-time groove, warm upright bass, sub-bass swell, layered male/female harmonies, drenched in plate reverb]
Still on fire
Still on fire
You and me, babe
Still on fire

Same old spark
New every time
You look my way
And I lose my mind

[Verse 2 - darker piano voicings, brushed snare whisper, detuned guitar licks, intimate male lead, female backup echoing the last words]
You button your coat
I watch your hands
Act all calm
But I understand

That tiny grin
That sideways glance
Says “come here now”
Before we dance

You think I’m not looking
But, I’m looking at you
Reading your face
Like I always do
By the way, I saw you looking too

[Pre-Chorus - harmony lift, delay throws on the last syllables, deep female counterline curling under the lead]
I still get shook
When you touch my waist
Heart skips once
Then it picks up pace

No need to speak
We both know why
One little look
And the room goes by

[Chorus - bigger vocal stack, male lead front and center, female backup soaring beneath, smoky and anthemic]
Still on fire
Still on fire
You and me, babe
Still on fire

Same old spark
New every time
You look my way
And I lose my mind

[Bridge - stripped piano and upright bass, brushed drums barely breathing, intimate duet feel, Vocaloid harmonies like a ghost in the room]
Years on years
And we’re still that way
Still getting nervous
Still wanting to stay

Still that heat
Under the skin
Like the first hello
We’re in love again

[Final Chorus - full band return, detuned guitar wails, sub-bass pulsing, powerful male lead with female backup soaring, long reverb tails]
Still on fire
Still on fire
You and me, babe
Still on fire

Same old spark
New every time
You look my way
And I lose my mind

[Outro - piano fading, guitar ringing low, breathy male lead and female backup fading into delay]
Across the way
You know I see
What your eyes say
To me, to me

Still on fire
Still on fire
