And so I burned, yes I burned And so I burned, yes I burned I burned up for you and that’s all I could do And my jaw dropped spilling out words that could screw This whole thing up or maybe I think too deep I just want you to be the one that I get to keep As I heaved and I breathed on the floor of your room With my ears ringing hard from the sound of the tunes That we jammed out together one after the other You looked so damn sweet I had to take cover From the bombs that were coming in my direction Each one labeled with something along the lines Of “Don’t get caught up in this, she’s not going to say yes. You’re much better off staying alone and depressed.” Well maybe this is gonna undo it And so I burned, yes I burned And so I burned, yes I burned The higher the flames got the weaker my heart got Now whenever I see you I know I just cannot Say anything that sounds presumptuous at all But I’d love to someday maybe give you a call And you’ll answer and say “Hey how is your day?” And I’ll say “Since you answered, it’s been pretty great.” And you’ll laugh or you’ll think I am totally lame Yeah I’m pretty sure you’ll think that I’m totally lame And I’ll never be anything but that I’ll never be cool and I’ll never be your laundromat You know the place that you go when you’re sad or your home Is completely incapable of washing your clothes Yeah that’s the way that I want this to go So tell me how is this thing gonna go? Should I come to your house or should I stay home And lie in my bed tearing up at the afterglow? Once I burn and I burn Watch me burn and go out
