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
