Set Fire to the Rain

I'm always a little slow behind what's most popular on radio, mostly because most things get played to death and it's only much later that I think back to a few select tracks and wonder what happened.

Today's song, "Set Fire to the Rain" by Adele is one of these songs. While there are many deeper meanings that one can take from this song, it seems that the inspiration for this came from nothing more meaningful than trying to light a cigarette in the rain. Seems that in the pouring rain it becomes a rather difficult process.

As it's winter at the moment and I'm really not a cold person, I feel the need to set fire to many things to simply feel a little more warmth.

I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it.
It was dark and I was over,
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me.
My hands they're strong, but my knees were far too weak, to
stand in your arms without falling to your feet,

But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win.

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
well, it burned while I cried,
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

When i lay with you I could stay there,
Close my eyes, feel you here forever,
You and me together, nothing is better!

Cause there's a side to you that I never, never knew,
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win.

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
well, it burned while I cried,
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
when we fell something died,
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.

I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
well, it burned while I cried,
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
when we fell something died
Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time, oh, oh no
let it burn oh
let it burn
let it burn

Then again, I guess setting fire to somethings can bring us a little warmth one way or another.
