It was midnight
Or long past it
You know I lost sight
When I found you in the dark
Simple phrases
We're way past that
Can't breathe a word
My lips were yours right from the start
I don't know my mind 'round you
Or at least you're a good excuse
Seconds seem to burn around you
We're burning out so what's the use?
I might shy away from your gaze
But I lean into your touch
Not that I don't feel this way
It's just I'm scared to feel too much
There's a slowdown
In my head now
Questions catching up the moment that you go
And every sound
Of what was said now
If there's more to this then I don't want to know
I don't know my mind 'round you
Or at least you're a good excuse
Seconds seem to burn around you
We're burning out so what's the use?
I might shy away from your gaze
But I lean into your touch
Not that I don't feel this way
It's just I'm scared to feel too much
Waiting for something to happen
Something come and complicate
Something coming now to test out
How much pressure I can take
Waiting for something to happen
Waiting for my heart to break
So I'm picking it up once more
On the floor
Waiting for my next mistake
I don't know my mind 'round you
Or at least you're a good excuse
Seconds seem to burn around you
We're burning out so what's the use?
I might shy away from your gaze
But I lean into your touch
Not that I don't feel this way
It's just I'm scared to feel too much
Don't know my own mind when I'm around you
But if you're coming 'round
Well that's a good excuse
Seconds seem to burn now when I'm around you
But we're all burning out
So honey what's the use?
