Switchfoot - On Fire Lyrics






They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you'll need to leave
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)

Cause everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take

When I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
These mysteries...

I'm standing on the edge of me [x3]
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before.
And i've been standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge

And I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
(Yea) I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries... these mysteries... these mysteries
Ah you're the mystery
You're the mystery

  23. D.... G....

    This band has an emotional approach which cannot be ignored. Unfortunately in Italy they're not so much known.
    God bless them!

  24. G.... R....

    2019 On Fire!

  29. J.... C....

    2019 anyone??

  30. A.... G....

    hello wery good

  31. J.... ....

    A comment below says this song is about God by I don't see the relation to that. To me the singer is telling a girl she sees star for another guy and he is feeling for her the same she feels for the other. And at one point it says that girl is the only firm and secure thing in his chaos, that even in the turmoil of his life when eve he lays eyes on her he feels steady and everything else revolves around them. Hence "When everything inside me looks like everything I hate, you are the hope I have for change" I think everyone feels that way when in love ❤

  32. R.... V....

    Jesús enciende mi vida y corazón espero podamos honrar su amor por siempre

  33. S.... m....

    They tell you where you need to go
    Tell you when you need to leave
    They tell you what you need to know
    Tell you who you need to be


    But Everything inside you knows there's more than what you've heard
    So much more than empty conversation filled with empty words


    And you're on fire when he's near you
    You're on fire when he speaks
    You're on fire, burning at these mysteries


    Give me one more time around
    Give me one more chance to see
    Give me everything you are
    Give me one more chance to be near you


    Everything inside me looks like everything I hate
    You are the hope I have for change, You are the only chance I'll take


    When I'm on fire when you're near me
    I'm on fire when you speak
    I'm on fire burning at these mysteries
    Mysteries
    Mysteries


    (You're on fire, you're on fire, you're on fire)


    I've been standing on the edge of me
    I'm standing on the edge of me
    I'm standing on the edge of me
    I'm standing on the edge of me
    I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before
    And I've been standing on the edge of me
    I'm standing on the edge


    And I'm on fire when you're near me
    I'm on fire when you speak
    Yeah, I'm on fire burning at these mysteries
    These mysteries
    These mysteries
    Yeah, mysteries, yeah
    Your a mysterie

  39. S.... a....

    Feb 14,2019 anyone?

  40. K.... M....

    I just read the life story of a tiny saint known as "Little Nellie of the Holy God". She only lived to be four years old, but she constantly burned with love for Jesus. At the time (early 1900s) children did not receive their First Communion until they were 12, but Nellie's bishop made an exception for her. It was all she wanted, to be with Holy God.

    Her little body remains incorrupt.

    The word sacrament actually means mystery. Like Nellie, we ought to be on fire burning at these mysteries.

  41. a.... g....

    I love forever

  42. J.... A....

    i admit i am a sinner and this song is so true

  49. t.... G....

    18 years of being an addict and I have no way of explaining the things our God has done in my life, they are HIS reasons, his plan, and no matter how much you try and contemplate it, The truth is, without a higher power we are weak and lost

  50. G.... D....

  62. J.... T....

    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

    Only Jesus is the way to Heaven and be saved from hell.

    "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
    Romans 5:8

    "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6

    Have you confessed Jesus as your LORD and Savior? You must confess Him as your LORD and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead to be saved from eternal damnation in hell and be able to go to Heaven

    "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9

    "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." 1 John 5:7

  63. C.... R....

    Yes this song is about God absolutely but alongside God it can also remind someone of their love-after all, God is love. I believe both coincide. Overall, true love=God. Bless you all & have a wonderful day🤗

  77. V.... ....

    Truly cool guys as well. I met them before. They acted like normal people. Not like what many say about famous people. They enjoyed talking with people. My buddy went to a concert, afterward for some fans that stayed late. He came out of the tour bus. Busted out an acoustic guitar and went out in the grass in a field and gave a private performance with about 30 or 40 people. They said it was one of the coolest things they had ever seen at any concert.

  78. M.... R....

    Underrated song

    Me encantas la cancion👍

    Switchfoot Lyrics
    "On Fire"

    They tell you where you need to go
    They tell you when you'll need to leave
    They tell you what you need to know
    They tell you who you need to be

    But everything inside you knows
    There's more than what you've heard
    There's so much more than empty conversations
    Filled with empty words

    And you're on fire
    When He's near you
    You're on fire
    When He speaks
    You're on fire
    Burning at these mysteries

    Give me one more time around
    Give me one more chance to see
    Give me everything You are
    Give me one more chance to be... (near You)

    Cause everything inside me looks like
    Everything I hate
    You are the hope I have for change
    You are the only chance I'll take

    When I'm on fire
    When You're near me
    I'm on fire
    When You speak
    And I'm on fire
    Burning at these mysteries
    These mysteries...

    I'm standing on the edge of me
    I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before.
    And i've been standing on the edge of me
    Standing on the edge

    And I'm on fire
    When You're near me
    I'm on fire
    When You speak
    (Yea) I'm on fire
    Burning at these mysteries... these mysteries... these mysteries
    Ah you're the mystery
    You're the mystery
