Burn Slow (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Fjord light stretching past eleven

Your jacket zipped, we're calling this heaven

Diesel and pine smoke on the breeze

Seventeen, barefoot, bruised at the knees

Bonfire sparks climb into the blue

Nothing out here feels like it's through

You hand me the last can, warm and flat

We toast to a summer that won't stay like that

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the sun won't set tonight

Tell me why we're holding on so tight

Something in me knows it's almost gone

Chorus

Burn slow, burn slow

Let the embers take their time to go

Kiss the smoke, kiss the glow

We were never built to burn slow

Burn slow, burn slow

Hold the spark before we let it go

Nineteen years and here we are

Burning slow like a dying star

Verse

Gravel path down to the black water line

Your reflection breaks where mine collides with time

Mosquito hum and a stereo hiss

Counting stars we're too young to miss

Midnight sun still bleeding on the hill

We keep saying we could stay here still

Ash on our fingers, salt on our skin

Trying to hold where the night begins

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the sun won't set tonight

Tell me why we're holding on so tight

Something in me knows it's almost gone

Chorus

Burn slow, burn slow

Let the embers take their time to go

Kiss the smoke, kiss the glow

We were never built to burn slow

Burn slow, burn slow

Hold the spark before we let it go

Nineteen years and here we are

Burning slow like a dying star

Bridge

Maybe forever was never the plan

Just this fire and your hand in my hand

Let the summer take what it came to keep

We'll carry the light into the dark we sleep

Chorus

Burn slow, burn slow

Let the embers take their time to go

Kiss the smoke, kiss the glow

We were never built to burn slow

Burn slow, burn slow

Hold the spark before we let it go

Nineteen years and here we are

Burning slow like a dying star
