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) |
