about

my first single!!! fun fact: i've written 20 songs about the same boy, and this is one of them. i really hope y'all love this song as much as i do.

lyrics

he comes in like moses
he makes the crowd part
he smiles that hurricane smile
and steals my hummingbird heart
and i can tell he lives for danger
even when he says he wants to keep me safe
he’s nobody’s stranger
but no friends ever felt this way

and i know
i know
i know
that i want this
but i don’t
i don’t
i don’t
i don’t trust this

'cuz it's a little too flammable
like hairspray and matches
it's a little too flammable
don’t get attached yet
‘cuz you are an open flame
and this is why we left it in the first place
its a little too flammable
flammable
flammable

he comes in like a trojan horse
past my walls and defences
disguised as something beautiful
when he’s as wild as he is reckless
we repeat our “this ends here”s
'cuz glitter fades when cold hearts melt
he says “if this is wrong my dear then
call me the devil himself”

'cuz it's a little too flammable
like hairspray and matches
it's a little too flammable
don’t get attached yet
‘cuz you are an open flame
and this is why we left it in the first place
its a little too flammable
flammable
flammable

and i know
i know
i know
that i want this
but i don’t
i don’t
i don’t
i don’t trust this

'cuz it's a little too flammable
like hairspray and matches
it's a little too flammable
don’t get attached yet
‘cuz you are an open flame
and this is why we left it in the first place
its a little too flammable
flammable
flammable

you
