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
