[Verse 1]
You're so bad for me
And I know it
But here I am in your arms
And, yeah, we're quiet like a secret
But it's just the calm before the storm

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause baby, your lips like fire
And my blood like gasoline
When we're striking
Burning up everything
Smoke is rising
It's getting hard to breathe
Your lips like fire

[Chorus]
Ignite my gasoline
My blood like gasoline

[Verse 2]
Your voice follows like an echo
Won't someone wake me from this dream?
The bluest skies turn to black clouds
And the wind is drowning out my screams

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause baby, your lips like fire
And my blood like gasoline
When we're striking
Burning up everything
Smoke is rising
It's getting hard to breathe
Your lips like fire

[Chorus]
Ignite my gasoline
My blood like gasoline
Ignite my gasoline
My blood like gasoline

[Bridge]
Late at night, telling me "if I was a rose
You'll be the thorns and it won't get better"
But I say "baby, you're more like a storm"
Stand in the rain cause I like the weather
Even though when we're done
All we'll have left is ashes

[Pre-Chorus - Variation]
Baby those lips like fire
My blood like gasoline
Sparked the fire
That burned down everything

[Pre-Chorus - Variation 2]
Lips like fire
And my blood like gasoline
When we're striking
Burning up everything
Smoke is rising
It's getting hard to breathe
Your lips like fire

[Chorus]
Ignite my gasoline
My blood like gasoline
Ignite my gasoline

Cause baby your lips like fire
Left burns all over me

Against the Current is a Pop-Rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that formed in 2011. It consists of lead singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/backing vocalist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.

Initally, they began as a cover band, gaining popularity on YouTube. They set to release a debut EP, Infinity and an acoustic EP containing the same songs. After its unexpected success, the band applied the same formula; they released their EP Gravity and they followed it with an acoustic session with the same songs.

Against the Current’s sound fell more on the pop side of the spectrum when they were signed to Fueled By Ramen in 2015 and released their debut full album In Our Bones.
