Slow burn

Cue the music, let it build
The meloncholy soundtrack of a summer indie film
I'm the quirky, unconvenitional leading guy
I say stupid garbage no ones ever said in their real life

Like: I've been taking bigger breaths lately
'Cause you told me not to hold it waiting for you to commit

Slow burn, I'd trade a kiss from her for a laugh to pass your lips
Slow burn, my heart goes pitter patter, pitter patter batter up, I'm up next
Slow burn, slow burn, cuz it’s the only light I know
While there's hope for you and me, I burn real slow

So lets stay home tonight my love
I don't like crowded rooms or the silly folk that fill them up
My introversions not a charming trait
My wits not good for much but thinking up useless stuff to say

Like: my hopes are sleeping quietly in bed
'Cause you told me not to get them up hoping one day you'd commit

Slow burn, I'd trade a kiss from her for a laugh to pass your lips
Slow burn, my heart goes pitter patter, pitter patter batter up, I'm up next
Slow burn, slow burn, cuz it’s the only light I know
While there's hope for you and me, I burn real slow

I didn't know better, so I didn't better
I held onto hope when it's best I forget her
I didn't know better, so I didn't better
Love has a spirit and I followed the letter
I didn't know better, so I didn't better
I've loved her so long and I can't quite remember
All of my eggs in her basket won't hatch
But I've counted each one and now I want'em all back

Slow burn, I'd trade a kiss from her for a laugh to pass your lips
Slow burn, my heart goes pitter patter, pitter patter batter up, I'm up next
Slow burn, slow burn, cuz it’s the only light I know
While there's hope for you and me, I burn real slow
