Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
Lyrics
It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms
Nobody's going to come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms
We're going down (down)
And you can see it too
We're going down (down)
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it's nothing to me
When baby you're the only light I think I ever saw
I'll make the most of all the sadness
You'll be an ass because you can
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leaving me feeling dirty
'Cause you can't understand
We're going down (down)
And you can see it too
We're going down (down)
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Go cry about it, why don't you?
Go cry about it, why don't you? (Yeah)
And go cry about it, go cry about it
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Don't you think we ought to know by now
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
Don't you think we ought to know by now
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
Don't you think we ought to know
Don't you think we ought of had to learn somehow
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
