Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - Gareth Bush

It's not a silly little moment It's not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dyin' breath of This love we've been workin' on Can't seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms Nobody's gonna come and save you We pulled too many false alarms We're goin' down And you can see it too We're goin' down And you know that we're doomed My dear We're slow dancing in a burnin' room I was the one you always dreamed of You were the one I tried to draw How dare you say it's nothing to me Baby, you're the only light I think I ever saw I'll make the most of all the sadness You'll be a bitch because you can You try to hit me to just hurt me Then you leave me feeling dirty 'Cause you can't understand We're goin' down And you can see it too We're goin' down Already know that we're doomed My dear, we're slow dancin' in a burnin' room Go cry about it, why don't you, yeah Go cry about it, why don't you, yeah Oh, go cry about it, go cry about it My dear, we're slow dancin' in a burnin' room In a burnin' room In a burnin' room Don't you think we oughta know by now? Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow? Don't you think we oughta know by now? Don't you think we oughta learn somehow? Don't you think we oughta, don't you think we oughta Don't you think we oughta move along? 'Cause, my dear, we're slow dancin' in a burnin' room

Judy might be pregnant John's got that new job Jimmy's on the highway He's been taking the fast lane Mike doesn't call back I heard he's smoking that sweet crack Jenny's on a mission To find a new religion But I keep dancing in my room Cause I got nothing else to do I keep on dancing in my room Cause I got nothing else to do Jonny is a movie star Down in California Papa still works hard Even though he's old now Freddy stole my girlfriend Down in my on basement Lola's making pasta Up in New York City But I keep dancing in my room Cause I got nothing else to do I keep on dancing in my room Cause I got nothing else to do But I keep dancing in my room Cause I got nothing else to do And everybody's going crazy I keep on being Mr. lazy

As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined You must have had yourself a change of heart like Halfway through the drive Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face And memories are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace And I am terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains Doc told me to travel, but there's COVID on the planes And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad No, I am no longer funny, 'cause I miss the way you laugh You once called me forever, now you still can't call me back And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do Oh, that'll have to do My other half was you I hope this pain's just passin' through But I doubt it And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do Have to do
