lyrics

Cast your heart to the floor, love
Feel the sting
Feel the weight of a love
Of a love not strong enough

Your head’s on fire
Your hands and feet come off the ground
Oh, sweet desire
When your mind’s not strong enough

It’s not that your head is gone
It’s just that your heart is on fire
It’s not that the beat is off
It’s just that your heart is on fire

Clutch your hands to her body
And feel the sting
Feel the shape of a love
Of a love not strong enough

Your head’s on fire
Your hands and feet come off the ground
Oh, sweet desire
When your mind’s not strong enough

It’s not that your head is gone
It’s just that your heart is on fire
It’s not that the beat is off
It’s just that your heart is on fire

Lay back, let the weight go off
Float on, let the feelings grow higher
It’s not that your head is wrong
It’s just that your heart is on fire

And we can’t stop
We’ve come too far here
This silent heart will wait for years
And years, and years

It’s not that your head is gone
It’s just that your heart is on fire
It’s not that the beat is off
It’s just that your heart is on fire

Lay back, let the weight go off
Get up, let your feelings grow higher
It’s not that your head is wrong
It’s just that your heart is on fire
