Our Love Burns (Like Gasoline)
by @johnstaples
Liner Notes
This is another song that got its start over 10 years ago and was packed away with mothballs. Today I retrieved it, dusted it off, rewrote verses, added a bridge, and gave it all new instrumentation. Another rough draft cleaned up! I think it could still use some tweaks, maybe drop out some of the louder stuff in the verses, I dunno. But for now it is in decent shape! And I almost have my voice back!
Lyrics
Our Love Burns (Like Gasoline) February 20, 2026 https://johnstaplesmusic.com/FAWM2026/JohnStaples-YouLightMeUpLikeGasoline.mp3
our love burns like gasoline raging fire fever dream
when we touch I feel your heat you light me up like gasoline
you light me up like gasoline
burn me up hold me down as I float above the ground burn me up and be my light be the pathway through my night
when you hold me in your arms I feel the love your beating heart
when we kiss I feel the fire burning bright the raw desire
burn me up hold me down as I float above the ground burn me up and be my light be the pathway through my night
hand in hand we are the fire our love lifting us higher heart to heart our passion strong our love forever long
our love burns like gasoline raging fire fever dream
when we touch I feel your heat you light me up like gasoline
when we touch I feel your heat you light me up like gasoline
you light me up like gasoline
you light me up like gasoline

This is hot. It can feel the heat! I love that this is more than a one-night stand, and still so powerful in intensity. Great vocals. I love this!

I love the word gasoline - it’s unusual in my part of the world. The melody of the verse is really lovely it just feels right. I really admire the all the fire based lyrics you’ve incorporated into this it’s makes it feel really coherent. The instrumentation is really great and the way the song develops in texture is super. Great solo and a fine fade out

Such a slow-but-intense burn (sorry! 😀 ) of a song. It insinuated itself into my brain, so catchy and low-key intense. It's a beguiling, almost seductive listen.
