Jimmy Lamoreau - First Flame Lyrics

Your laugh caught me before your name ever did,
A spark in the dark, in the quiet we hid.
You weren't lookin' for trouble, but trouble found me,
And I couldn't look away from what I shouldn't see.
Your eyes held a dare, like the edge of a match,
I struck one small smile, and the fire caught fast.
Oh, the first flame, burnin' too bright,
Lit up the shadows of my lonesome nights.
We didn't need words, just the glow of your face,
Like a firework show in a faraway place.
Oh, the first flame, it pulled me in close,
And I didn't think twice 'bout what mattered the most.
You held me like July holds onto the heat,
Every second alive felt like borrowed defeat.
We danced barefoot on gravel, you didn't care,
Even the stars looked small with your light in the air.
The flame was still young, but it felt old and wise,
A thousand lives flickered deep in your eyes.
Oh, the first flame, burnin' too bright,
Lit up the shadows of my lonesome nights.
We didn't need words, just the glow of your face,
Like a firework show in a faraway place.
Oh, the first flame, it pulled me in close,
And I didn't think twice 'bout what mattered the most.
There's somethin' about fire you can't understand,
'Til it's warmin' your skin, but it burns your hand.
And that first blaze never lasts too long,
But it leaves behind smoke that lingers strong.
Oh, the first flame, burnin' too bright,
Lit up the shadows of my lonesome nights.
We didn't need words, just the glow of your face,
Like a firework show in a faraway place.
Oh, the first flame, it pulled me in close,
And I didn't think twice 'bout what mattered the most.
Now the smoke hangs low where the fire once stood,
But I'd strike that match again, if I thought I could.
