Burn, Don't Freeze! |
I’d set your heart on fire but arson is no way |
(Said I’d blossom under your care) |
To make a love burn brighter |
Always thought that the devil was the only one |
Who knew the ins and outs of the ways of love |
(Wrap me up tight inside your wing) |
So I sold off my heart to see how this would end |
Now I can’t move an inch for fear it will begin |
(Is it safe now, is it safe to breathe?) |
(I force my eyes open, and now who has changed?) |
You come in between me and the darkness |
(You look different, so different today) |
Please don’t you ever leave |
Holding your eyes in the hardest stare |
(Backwards, forwards) |
Running around like you wanted me there |
(Backwards, forwards going out of my mind) |
Lookin' at me like I’m the hottest in town |
(Backwards, forwards) |
Then turnin’s your back when you’re movin' around |
(Backwards, forwards spinning way off time) |
I ain’t gonna listen to you no more |
(Fire to water) |
Breakin' outta this place throwin' open the door |
(Fire, baby, baby’s putting me out) |
Use me up just to fan the flame |
(Fire to water) |
But you’ll be sorry as I’m walkin' away |
(Fire, baby, baby’s putting me out) |
You’re the truest light I’ve known |
(I'm the one who decides who I am) |
But someday I’ll learn I don’t need your fuel to burn |
(I'm the one who will shed this old skin) |
Always thought that hell was the only place |
Hot enough to melt our heart into a locked embrace |
(I force my eyes open, and now who has changed?) |
There’s something so safe about a lack of air |
The only way to make sure that you’ll always be there |
(I feel different, so different today) |
Holding your eyes in the hardest stare |
(Backwards, forwards) |
Running around like you wanted me there |
(Backwards, forwards going out of my mind) |
Lookin' at me like I’m the hottest in town |
(Backwards, forwards) |
Then turnin’s your back when you’re movin' around |
(Backwards, forwards spinning way off time) |
I ain’t gonna listen to you no more |
(Fire to water) |
Breakin' outta this place throwin' open the door |
(Fire, baby, baby’s putting me out) |
Use me up just to fan the flame |
(Fire to water) |
But you’ll be sorry as I’m walkin' away |
(Fire, baby, baby’s putting me out) |
I’m gone |
Living underground |
I’m gone |
Devil spins his world around |
I’m gone |
Do you wanna go underground? |
I’m gone |
Living underground |
Don’t you wanna? |
Did you really change your mind? |
Ain’t you gonna? |
Was this fire way too bright |
Don’t you wanna? |
Could this be your only crime? |
Ain’t you gonna? |
Did you really change your mind? |
Holding your eyes in the hardest stare |
(Backwards, forwards) |
Running around like you wanted me there |
(Backwards, forwards going out of my mind) |
Lookin' at me like I’m the hottest in town |
(Backwards, forwards) |
Then turnin’s your back when you’re movin' around |
(Backwards, forwards spinning way off time) |
I ain’t gonna listen to you no more |
(Fire to water) |
Breakin' outta this place throwin' open the door |
(Fire, baby, baby’s putting me out) |
Use me up just to fan the flame |
(Fire to water) |
But you’ll be sorry as I’m walkin' away |
(Fire, baby, baby’s putting me out) |
