Slow Burn Lyrics

These canvases are longing for a painter

These empty words are yearning for a page

What a match that's made in heaven, so long as inspiration doesn't fade

But she needs things a little more persistent

A serenade that lasts through all of time

And I can't hold a candle to it, at least not one as wicked as mine

"Slow burn

Oh my love, I never learn

Slow burn

Promise you I'll wait my turn"

But when we don't love like before

This house is not a home anymore

I'm freezing over in the dead of winter

Soon I'll hibernate and rest my weary soul

While he touches her gently, and turns every inch of her skin into gold

So I inscribe unto her, even though it's crowded

"I promise I will love you all the same

Even when I've learned my lesson, and never get quite this close to the flame, again

Slow burn,

Oh my love, I never learn

Slow burn

Promised you I'd wait my turn"

But when we don't love like before

This house is not a home anymore
