Come to me Come on, lover, we can't lay around forever Making love for a dozen months I don't have to give you Anything, any time, anyone It's the balance owed The ballast floating in the toilet bowl But it's the slowest burn It's the slowest burn Sing for me Appease my conscience, it's the only thing we've got down We've been making love for a dozen months I can't afford to give you Energy, empathy; you can't live on crumbs Better off out on the road holding out your thumb But it's the slowest burn It's the slowest burn And I'm weak And I won't be anymore I think I always need you I won't think anymore And I'm mad I won't be anymore It's too bad We won't be anymore It's the slowest burn
