Think about it till anticipation makes you shake
And we both lose control
Put the pedal to the floor
Lay the seat back, lock the doors
We're gonna make this worth our while
It's getting harder to breathe

"Jealous hearts will leave us all in ruins."
That's what we'll say
(That's what we'll say)
As we hide out from our friends
Hear the message once again
Lets get this right

Your lips are a hot flame, baby
And our chemistry is kerosene
Take it off, take it all off
Maybe we can get down and burn up in the heat

Times like these feel so dangerous
When you know you're gonna find out how right it feels
(How right it feels)
To ignore the ones you love the most
This can't be right

Your lips are a hot flame, baby
And our chemistry is kerosene
As we kiss to the sound of your stereo
Don't say a word
We won't say a word

Your lips are a hot flame, baby
(Don't treat this like a secret)
And our chemistry is kerosene
(Just keep it quiet while we know)
Take it off, take it all off
(That we could tear best friends apart)
Maybe we can get down and burn up in the heat
(With all the lies we've told)

Your lips are a hot flame, baby
(Don't treat this like a secret)
And our chemistry is kerosene
(Just keep it quiet while we know)
Take it off, take it all off
(That we could tear best friends apart)
Baby, I'm at a lost for words
(With all the lies we've told)
When thoughts don't compare
Write this down

    General Comment:It's about Alex's on/off girlfriend Lisa Ruocco. Her middle name is Noel, which is where the title of the song comes from. The song is basically about them having sex in a car.

    General Comment:So, friends, I have put the pieces of this puzzle together and come to a conclusion. The song is about Lisa NOEL Ruocco, who has been Alex's girlfriend off and on, since about the time that the song was written. However, Alex himself said that it was about him messing around with Jack's girlfriend behind his back, and Lisa said the song was about her. Which also means, that not only did Lisa date Alex, she also dated Jack and cheated on him with Alex. Therefore, Lisa is a cheating whore and Alex Gaskarth has every right not to be with her right now.

    For all of the doubters of my above statement, the song is called Noel, which is her middle name and in fact, not a reference to the Christmas season so, that's really all the evidence you need for you to know it's about her cheating butt.

    General Comment:It is about Lisa, her middle name is Noel, she was dating Alex when he wrote this song.

    SHE NEVER DATED JACK

    This is from Lisa's tumblr:

    "All I am looking for is an answer. I am aware of what some people say about me. I’m sure those of you who are reading this are aware as well… but let’s just lay it out. Here are the rumors (all completely false) that I have heard that some people say about me:

    1. Apparently I have cheated or do cheat on my boyfriend.
    2. Apparently I dated Jack.
    3. Apparently I cheated on Jack with Alex.
    4. Apparently I was pregnant.
    5. Apparently I am engaged.
    6. Apparently Alex asked me to marry him and I said no… twice?
    7. Apparently I am after his money.
    8. Apparently I have STDs.
    9. Apparently I am a slut.
    10. Apparently I am a bitch.
    11. Apparently I am a bad person.
    12. Apparently I am fat.
    13. Apparently I am stupid.
    14. Apparently I use people I know in order to gain popularity or so-called “fame”.

    General Comment:As a person who has obtained every song ATL has ever made, they haven't and will never write a song better than this song and Jasey Rae.

    It's scientifically proven.

    General Comment:As much as I love this song....it's really creepy how obsessive people are getting and dropping names and acting like they know exactly what went down. Cool it, they're a great band writing great songs, you don't need to freak out over every little thing in their lives
    It's sad.

    Song Meaning:I am clarifying this cause I was reading all these comments and noticed that everyone is assuming that Jack Barakat dated Lisa Ruocco then she cheated on him with Alex Gaskarth. THAT IS NOT TRUE. I have proof, Lisa even stated on her twitter account that she was getting mad that people assumed that they had dated , it is false, where ever you guys are hearing this. She said , "No, I have never dated Jack, that’s wrong. He is like a brother to me, nothing more." Or something around those terms. Just thought I would tell you all cause that seems to be what most people assume this song is about.

    I have no idea who it is about then, but all I know for a fact it is not about Lisa whether or not her middle name is Noel. Unless she is lying to everyone, which I hope / doubt. Just so you know.
