slow burn Lyrics

I've never built a fire

That hasn't burnt out

Flames go from getting higher

Right to ashes on the ground

With us there's a spark

Unexpectedly found

And you know, I know, we know

We can't mess around

With every storm raging

I wanna hide us from the wind

I wanna keep it growing

Without getting out of hand

It takes us both to build it

So let's not rush in

If it goes, you go, I go

We'll never get it back again

Wanna feel your warmth

But I don't wanna get burned

And add to the scars

Of all my lessons learned

No two flames

Ever spread the smoke the same

So let's light it up

Before it's too late

I'm ok with a slow burn

When everything else is crumbling

You're the only thing keeping me going

I'm ok with a slow burn

When everything's lying in pieces

I wanna keep sitting here watching

Our slow burn

Shooting stars in the autumn sky

As we dance around the glow

Shadows moving on the tree line

We're sending signals through the smoke

Feel your heartbeat keep time

For the melody the breeze blows

You're here, I'm here, we're here

Just tell me that you'll never go

Can I hold you close

When you are my sweet escape

Can what I love so much

Be the thing I push away

But these twin flames

Will never separate

Let's light it up

Before it's too late

I'm ok with a slow burn

When everything else is crumbling

You're the only thing keeping me going

I'm ok with a slow burn

When everything's lying in pieces

I wanna keep sitting here watching

Our slow burn

Wanna feel your warmth

But I don't wanna get burned

And add to the scars

Of all my lessons learned

No two flames

Ever spread the smoke the same

So let's light it up

Before it's too late

I'm ok with a slow burn

When everything else is crumbling

You're the only thing keeping me going

I'm ok with a slow burn

When everything's lying in pieces

I wanna keep sitting here watching

Our slow burn

I'm ok with a slow burn

When everything's lying in pieces

I wanna keep sitting here watching

Our slow burn
