lyrics

She came in late last night.
It was such a surprise
I could not believe my eyes

I saw her standing there
Aside the bathroom chair
& in her cold hard stare,
I was alive

I was alive, I was alive
I was alive, I was alive
for a moment that night

I was alive, I was alive
I was alive, I was alive
for a moment that night

First it was for fun,
follow my desire.
Now I'm in too deep,
I'm playing with fire.

Lesson never learned,
never will retire.
Cuz she pulls me back,
I'm playing with fire again.

Playing with fire
Playing with fire again
Playing with fire
I'm playing with her.

(Steve dazzles)

We went for a walk,
It was well after dark.
The fog was rollin' in,
and I swear it,
She was floatin.

She put her hand in mine,
it was such a surprise
when her fingertips
all slipped through mine.

But I was alive,
I was alive
I was alive
I was alive
for a moment that night.

Yeah I was alive,
I was alive
I was alive
I was alive
for a moment that night.

First it was for fun,
follow my desire.
Now I'm in too deep,
I'm playing with fire.

Lesson never learned,
never will retire.
Cuz she pulls me back,
I'm playing with fire again.

Playing with fire
Playing with fire again
Playing with fire
I'm playing with her.

(Dan shreds)

But I was alive,
I was alive
I was alive
I was alive
for a moment that night.

Yeah I was alive,
I was alive
I was alive
I was alive
for a moment that night.

First it was for fun,
follow my desire.
Now I'm in too deep,
I'm playing with fire.

Lesson never learned,
never will retire.
Cuz she pulls me back,
I'm playing with fire again.

Playing with fire
Playing with fire again
Playing with fire
I'm playing with her.
