Story Behind The Song
It took me almost two years to write this song. It's about the time I met a guy at a summer party who, although too old for me, I became obsessed with. I kept convincing myself that I could get him to notice me, but he never even saw me. I felt invisible. So, "Hidden Fires" housed my heartache and disappointment about that summer day.

Lyrics
Orange sun's breaking through the trees
People are laughing
Shooting the breeze
Water's waiting go on in
Today's the day I'm going to win
I feel good yet there's a missing piece within
Something jumped out at me just now
Can't speak but my soul is screaming loud
I see pretty eyes, a cold stare
I hear a voice, I stop right there
Hey, it's you but you act so unaware
CHORUS:
I want you
I'd love you to see me
But you're blind to not look my way
When we touch I come alive
You just sit there while I thrive
On every magic word you say
Passion grows by the minute
Just as long as you are in it
So, why stay frozen?
I'm melting over you
You may think it's nothing
It's all I do
CHORUS REPEAT:
I want you
I'd love you to see me
But you're blind to not look my way
When we touch I come alive
You just sit there while I thrive
I've got my heart out on display, oh yeah
You saw me smile
Wasn't it clear?
You saw me watch you all day
I was so sincere
You'll never know how much you turn me on
Would've said something
Now the day is gone
CHORUS REPEAT:
I want you
I'd love you to see me
But you're blind to not look my way
When we touch I come alive
You just sit there while I thrive
On every magic word you say
Girls they love you (love you)
I'm a little girl with her head in the clouds
Girls they love you (love you)
You're a beautiful teenage boy
Hidden fires
Under my skin of rushing, burning desires
Save me before this feeling expires
Fill me with joy
It's been such a perfect day
Doesn't matter what I say
(When I touch you, I feel it all over)
You just walk away
