Slow Dancing In A Burning Room - John Mayer (cover)

Lyrics

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 ever saw

I'll make the most of all the sadness

You'll be a bitch because you can

You try to hit me, just hurt me

So you leave me feeling dirty

'Cause you can't understand

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

Go cry about it, why don't you

Go cry about it, why don't you

Go cry about it, why don't you

My dear, we're slow dancin' in a burnin' room

Burnin' room, burnin' room

Don't you think we outta know by now?

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?

Don't you think we outta know by now?

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?

Don't you think we outta know by now?

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
