  • We don't get too many nights
    All alone peace and quiet
    Call it busy, call it a life
    And I don't tell you near enough
    Just how much I'm missing us
    And making that temperature rise
    But girl, I'm gonna show you tonight

    So, let's drink what's left of this bottle of wine
    Move a little closer' til the sparks start flyin'
    Turn the lights down low and pull the Conway off of the shelf
    Then we'll dance through the kitchen and straight down the hall
    Let my old blue jeans and your sundress fall
    Girl, we're holding the lighter
    And fires don't start themselves

    Girl, I wanna take my time
    Love you slow, love you right
    Shadows dancing on the wall
    Your lips, your hips, your fingertips
    Every inch of you just fits
    Like the shirt that I got on
    Gonna love you, baby, all night long

    So, let's drink what's left of this bottle of wine
    Move a little closer 'til the sparks start flyin'
    Turn the lights down low and pull the Conway off of the shelf
    Then we'll dance through the kitchen and straight down the hall
    Let my old blue jeans and your sundress fall
    Girl, we're holding the lighter
    And fires don't start themselves
    Nah, fires don't start themselves

    Nah, there ain't no putting it out
    Might just burn this whole place down
    Starting right now

    So, let's drink what's left of this bottle of wine
    Move a little closer 'til the sparks start flyin'
    Turn the lights down low and pull the Conway off of the shelf
    Ah yeah
    Then we'll dance through the kitchen and straight down the hall
    Let my old blue jeans and your sundress fall
    Girl, we're holding the lighter
    And fires don't start themselves
    Nah, no, fires don't start themselves, ah Writer/s: Ben Hayslip, Dan Isbell, Jacob Paul Rice
