She Burns

She is a little explosion of hope

Never turns the lights down low

She can go there if you wanna, though

There are no markings on her country road

No sign to show the way back home

But when you get there, you won't wanna go

I'd frozen over my desire

Covered up in virgin snow

But when I stand beside her

She burns, yeah

She burns like petrol-soaked paper and fireworks

And I'm burning, yeah, I'm burning

I'm burning so deep that just breathing hurts

I'm melting, darling, and I can't let go

She likes to lay under the covers, oh

Pretend that everywhere's our home

Keeps me warm right to my very soul

We get so tangled up, it's hard to know

What is hers and what's my own

Vines at the bottom of an olive grove

I'd frozen over my desire

Covered up in virgin snow

But when I stand beside her

She burns, yeah

She burns like petrol-soaked paper and fireworks

And I'm burning, yeah, I'm burning

I'm burning so deep that just breathing hurts

I'm melting, darling, and I can't let go

I'm melting, darling, and I can't let go

I'm melting, darling, and I can't let go

I'd frozen over my desire

Covered up in virgin snow

But when I stand beside her

She burns, yeah

She burns like petrol-soaked paper and fireworks

And I'm burning, yeah, I'm burning

I'm burning so deep that just breathing hurts

I'm melting, darling, and I can't let go

I'm melting, darling, and I can't let go

I'm melting, darling, and I can't let go
