Track 3: Under Your Spell

Lyrics by Gemma Ford from Vow of Fire (Blood & Vows: Book 1)

Track 3

I told myself I’d keep my heart behind the glass,
Borrow a little danger, never let it last.
But you say my name like a match to a fuse,
And every wall I built, I’m letting you walk through.

I can feel it slipping — the grip, the line, the lie,
Keep whispering it’s just tonight, it’s only skin, not mine.
But you turned on the light just to watch me come undone —

And I’m under your spell,
Heaven dressed up like a one-way road to hell.
I should run, I should run —
But I want it too well
Falling slow,
Falling sweet,
Falling under, under your spell.

Then you stopped.
Looked at me like you’d never seen a thing you were scared to break,
A thing you couldn’t keep.
Your hands went soft, your whole breath came apart —
And I gave you the one thing I swore I’d never give: my heart.
And it scares me more than any loaded thing you own,
That I’d rather burn beside you than be safe and alone.

‘Cause I can’t take it back now,
Can’t un-know your name —
Two people this reckless were never gonna stay the same.

And I’m under your spell,
Heaven dressed up like a one-way road to hell.
I should run, I should run —
But I want it too well
Falling slow,
Falling sweet,
Falling under your spell.

We didn’t fix a thing tonight —
We lit the whole house up and just stood there in the light.
No going back to strangers, no unlearning this,
We made it so much worse with every kiss.
You’re not my saving grace,
You’re my beautiful mistake —
And God help me…
I’d make it again.

So I’m under your spell,
Heaven dressed up like a one-way road to hell.
I should run, I should run —
But I know me too well —
I was always gonna fall
Under your spell.
Mmmm…

Witch’s eyes, you called me…
Look who’s bewitched now.
Born to want you, baby.
Under your spell.
