Slow Burn

Chords

Cue the music, let it build
The melancholy soundtrack of a summer indie film
I'm the quirky, unconventional leading guy
I say stupid garbage no one’s 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
‘Cause it’s the only light I know
So while there’s still hope for you and me,
I burn real slow

So let’s stay home tonight my love
I don't like crowded rooms or
The silly folk that fill them up
My introversion's not a charming trait
My wit's 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 dreamin’ 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
‘Cause it’s the only light I know
So while there’s still hope for you and me,
I burn real slow

I didn't know better, so I didn't get better
I held onto hope when its best I forget her
I didn't know better, so I didn't get better
Love has a spirit and I followed the letter
I didn't know better, so I didn't get better
I've loved her so long and I can't quite remember that
All of my eggs in her basket won't hatch
But I 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
‘Cause it’s the only light I know
So while there’s still hope for you and me,
I burn real slow
