It was midnight Or long past it You know I lost sight When I found you in the dark Simple phrases We're way past that Can't breathe a word My lips were yours right from the start I don't know my mind 'round you Or at least you're a good excuse Seconds seem to burn around you We're burning out so what's the use? I might shy away from your gaze But I lean into your touch Not that I don't feel this way It's just I'm scared to feel too much There's a slowdown In my head now Questions catching up the moment that you go And every sound Of what was said now If there's more to this then I don't want to know I don't know my mind 'round you Or at least you're a good excuse Seconds seem to burn around you We're burning out so what's the use? I might shy away from your gaze But I lean into your touch Not that I don't feel this way It's just I'm scared to feel too much Waiting for something to happen Something come and complicate Something coming now to test out How much pressure I can take Waiting for something to happen Waiting for my heart to break So I'm picking it up once more On the floor Waiting for my next mistake I don't know my mind 'round you Or at least you're a good excuse Seconds seem to burn around you We're burning out so what's the use? I might shy away from your gaze But I lean into your touch Not that I don't feel this way It's just I'm scared to feel too much Don't know my own mind when I'm around you But if you're coming 'round Well that's a good excuse Seconds seem to burn now when I'm around you But we're all burning out So honey what's the use?
