Your words provide some peace of mind
You tell me all the time
How nice it, to have me around
But your eyes they tell a different story
I guess that you're tired of covering for me
So burn baby burn
The embers I have learned
Are the charred remains
Of a simple, easy love
You rock a t-shirt tan like only you can
You give a kiss to say hello
Makes me think that this could really last
But I've got the benefit of age
And it's clear that this is just a passing stage
So burn baby burn
The embers I have learned
Are the charred remains
Of a simple, easy love
We both thought things would get better in the fall
But all our plans were grains of sand
So infinitely small
It's not about being patient
But having the courage to make the call
So burn baby burn
The embers I have learned
Are the charred remains
Of a simple, easy love
