Lyrics
Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin’ in
Our love is a flame, burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin’ in
Wherever you go, whatever you do
You know these reckless thoughts of mine are following you
I’m falling for you, whatever you do
‘Cause baby, you’ve shown me so many things that I never knew
Whatever it takes, baby, I’ll do it for you
Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly layin’ our hearts on the table
Stumblin’ in
Our love is a flame, burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin’ in
You were so young, oh, and I was so free
I may’ve been young, but baby, that’s not what I wanted to be
Well, you were the one (oh, why was it me?)
‘Cause, baby, you’ve shown me so many things that I’ve never seen
Whatever you need, baby, you’ve got it from me
Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin’ in
Our love is a flame, burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin’ in
Stumblin’ in
Stumblin’ in
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin’ in
Ah, stumblin’ in
Mmm, stumblin’ in
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin’ in
Oh, stumblin’ in
I’m stumblin’ in
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin’ in
Whhoa, stumblin’ in (ah, stumblin’ in)
I’m stumblin’ In (you were stumblin in)
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin’ in
