The fire (of love or desire) burns bright, but the chances are routinely missed by an aging, over-worked couple. The literal full-force fire in view from inside the house inspired Layla's song to also be figurative.

Lyrics

Got a Friday night feeling from a long day done, let’s start a bonfire, we’re finally home, We’ll crack a cold beer, and tune up the tone, The night’s still so young

Maybe call a few over to carry the fun, dust off the banjo, uncover the drum
Got our beverage in hand and the setting sun, yeah, the night’s still so young

But guitars never sound
Sleepy eyes come around
Cause we’re just so worn down again
Tonight...

Oh I feel for the fire...
Aiming high to the sky...
With a burnin desire...
To make you feel alright
Oh I feel for the fire...
Getting higher and higher...
Oh I feel for the fire...
Left alone all night

Could’ve sung so high in the moonlit night, could’ve played by the fire, it had felt so right
But the day took our sail, wait another time...while we’re both still so young
