[Verse 1]
Feel the calm before the storm
I'll be leaving in the morning
You were my sweet summer song
But the summer's gone and I can't keep your fire burning

[Pre-Chorus]
You're poison running through my veins
End it with a spark into a pool of gasoline

[Chorus]
Wildfire
Flames rising
Hit me like a bullet
Finger on the trigger, pull it, pull it
Wildfire, burn baby
Burn for me

[Verse 2]
Castles crash into the sand
As they're swept into the sea
I could never understand
How you're easy come easy go
As you please

[Pre-Chorus]
You're poison running through my veins
End it with a spark into a pool of gasoline

[Chorus]
Wildfire
Flames rising
Hit me like a bullet
Finger on the trigger, pull it, pull it
Wildfire, burn baby
Burn for me

Wildfire
Wildfire, wildfire
Wildfire, burn baby
Burn for me

[Bridge]
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go

[Chorus]
Wildfire
Flames rising
Hit me like a bullet
Finger on the trigger, pull it, pull it
Wildfire, burn baby
Burn for me

[Outro]
Wildfire
Wildfire, wildfire
Wildfire, burn baby

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
