Higgins, Missy - Set Me On Fire Lyrics






I've got a lot to say I just don't know how to say it
I know all the rules I just can't seem to play it
You can tick the boxes, follow the equation
But the knife wont budge until you learn patience
I've got notes to sing I just can't reach the words
They're out on the ledge in the dark with the birds
But I'm trying to find them inside of you
Take my brain and break it in two

Melody, you're the only one who saves me
Out of the cold you take me
(Set me on fire)
You save me
(Set me on fire)

Melody, all I want is to remember what came before this winter
(Set me on fire)
Save me
Set me on fire

I've got a rock between my heart and mouth
I know how it got there but I can't pull it out
And the bones that once moved my fingers over keys
Are protesting in fist on my knees
Gotta find a way to unzip my skin 'cause this is a stranger's im living in

Melody, you're the only one who saves me
Out of the cold you take me
(Set me on fire)
You save me
(Set me on fire)

Melody, all I want is to remember what came before this winter
(Set me on fire)
You save me
Set me on fire

(What came before the winter)
Set me on fire

Melody, you're the only one who saves me
Out of the cold you take me
And set me on fire
You set me on fire

Melody, all I want is to remember what came before this winter
(Set me on fire)
Save me
Set me on fire

Melody, you're the only one who saves me
You set me on fire

  1. J.... T....

    I had forgotten how good this song is. It's perfection in pop (I don't mean pop in the pap sense). Every nonsense syllable fits perfectly, what a pleasure to hear.

  2. B.... W....

    Thankyou...always shines some light when i need it ,,beautiful

  3. o.... p....

    She is the true definition of what artist is..

  4. B.... J....

    just found Missy and her music. Great stuff

  5. L.... P....

    Esta canción.

  6. R.... A....

    Missy looks like she's singing at the back of Macca's, in uniform. Great song all the same. :-)

  7. B.... W....

    Thankyou so much,,,,

  8. L.... W....

    This music video will be the death of me

  9. P.... M....

    I've seen a lot of artists, as you guys have. She is so-freakin'-cool!

    don't know what I've done
    Or if I like what I've begun
    But something told me to run
    And honey, you know me, it's all or none

    There were sounds in my head
    Little voices whispering
    That I should go and this should end
    Oh, and I found myself listening

    'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
    All I know is that I should
    And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
    All I know is that I should
    'Cause she will love you more than I could
    She who dares to stand where I stood

    See, I thought love was black and white
    That it was wrong or it was right
    But you aren't leaving without a fight
    And I think, I am just as torn inside

    'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
    All I know is that I should
    And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
    All I know is that I should
    'Cause she will love you more than I could
    She who dares to stand where I stood

    And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
    You meant more to me than any one I, I've ever loved at all
    But you taught me how to trust myself
    And so I say to you, this is what I have to do

    'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
    All I know is that I should
    And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
    All I know is that I should
    'Cause she will love you more than I could
    She who dares to stand where I stood
    She who dares to stand where I sto

  21. W.... L....

    Lesbian ? too lesbian and hardly a good singer.

    W.... L....

    +Will Lin she's actually not a lesbian. She is with a man named Dan Lee and she has a baby son (naturally conceived I must add)

    W.... L....

    +Will Lin how can someone be "too lesbian" lol. You don't like her songs, that's cool. But it has absolutely nothing to do with her sexuality.

    W.... L....

    Correction, she is bisexual and marry to a man doesn't make she straight. :)

  22. S.... L....

    LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

  45. l.... ....

  46. k.... ....

    You know, I'm pretty talented... maybe I can't sing as good as Missy but I can ride a unicycle! Is that good enough? ;)

  47. I.... ....

    Missy, If you can top two exquisitely beautiful albums with a third that might be the best yet, well, ... wow.

  48. l.... ....

  51. B.... R....

    Love Love Love. Been listening to you for 10 years and I love every single song you put out there... as does mum my mum, we often sing to you extremely loud in the car.

  52. k.... v....

    God, she's so amazing. I wish I was lucky enough to have such a soulful and wonderful girl...

  53. t.... ....

    You set me on fire every time i hear or see you, Missy :) .

    Does anyone know has Missy ever come to Ireland or even played a European tour at that? - I know she's toured America, but i never heard of her playing anywhere near me :( . Even if i heard she was playing in England i'd make the effort to go to her, i went to Manchester to see Katie Melua (who was supported by Australian Andrea McEwan, on that particular tour, as it happens :) ) .

  54. 0.... r....

    i heard this song on the am station radio.. i had to come here and listen to it a couple of times . i like it..

  55. v.... t....

    i think she very sexy

  56. A.... J....

    How can you say that this video is boring? The song is about her having writers block and that music will save her, and this was her life while recording this album.

  57. M.... M....

    I fucking love this woman so much it's not even fair.

  58. a.... ....

    I like your thinking :)

  59. j.... ....

    Perfect? No, not at all.
    Gorgeous, delightful, wonderful, amazing, entrancing, enticing, exciting, appealing, alluring, stunning, soulful, intelligent, hilarious, funny, fantastic, beautiful... are all words I would describe Missy with... and I could seriously go on... lol, but perfect? No one's perfect. Not even Missy. :) But isn't that also what makes her so great!

  60. p.... ....

    My fave song from the album, wonderful ;)

  61. P.... N....

    Nice song, boring video. Take a chance!

  62. e.... l....

    genuine x

    Someone get her DNA.

  70. m.... m....

    Missy Higgins was Ed Sheeran's first crush.

    m.... m....

    mama mo That's so cool!

  71. T.... C....

    Just found out about Missy from watching Ben Folds. She is fantastic! Love her voice. I can't believe people are talking about her sexuality. Just enjoy the music.

  72. P.... ....

    Gotta love people worrying about her sexuality, when they couldn't get a date with her in 1,000 years.

    This tune is just amazing. Heard a live version on public radio a few weeks ago, and instantly became a fan of Missy Higgins.

  73. m.... ....

    Missy is bloody AMAZING!!!

  74. C.... J....

    Shes not a leso shes a bisexual which means she likes both

  75. L.... f....

    god how i wish she liked men

  76. s.... ....

    Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics, beautiful singer. Can't wish for more.

  77. K.... ....

    What a cool lesbian

  78. L.... f....

    she is so beautiful,wish she wasnt gay

  79. J.... B....

    But we do have Drop Bears

  80. J.... B....

  81. B.... ....

    Beautiful song, I love you Missy Higgins!!!

  82. R.... S....

    Beautiful song!

  83. m.... a....

    need to find me a woman like her

  84. I.... ....

    I pretty much cum at the chorus. "you're the only one who saves me" Damn, grrl.

  85. D.... T....

    Love me some Misty. I feel like we would be friends in real life

  90. k.... ....

    hahahahah I love your sense of humor :)
    and really, I know alot about your country. I think this is the most amazing and beautiful place of the whole world!

  91. S.... H....

    Just so you know,

    We DONT ride kangaroos to work/school
    We DONT 'throw shrips on barbys'

    and as long as you bring a plate of food you can stay at mine

  92. a.... ....

    I know, right? Just, she is just amazing. And the fact that she's bi and doesn't care about the haters makes it even more so.

  93. c.... ....

    It's not so great. Insular, small minded and obsessed with sport - why do you think so many of its creative people live overseas ?

  94. c.... ....

    Another great video from Dawson Wells, hope to see you making your own music again mate.

  95. D.... C....

    Great vid & perfect visuals showing her natural charm. your gorgeous Missy!

  96. R.... M....

    Amazing. and funny :D

  97. k.... s....

    love the banana parts :D i love you missy, been a fan since i was 6, but yeah i am only 12, you are a truly wonderful human being
    see you at the palais!

  98. F.... ....
