The chorus of the song expresses the intense desire that comes with this profound love. Each kiss bestowed upon us ignites a fire within our souls, and we willingly surrender ourselves to the power of this love. “You fill my eager heart with such desire, every kiss you give sets my soul on fire,” Sting’s voice echoes with a mix of vulnerability and passion.
