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 some 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 some 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 some hope for you and me I burn real slow
