Lyrics

Burning Up Slow

I get all my hope solo biking in Central Park
Posing my health as a riddle in this population still
It didn't sit right in my eyes
Didn't sit right with my patience
It's breezy while I die on this hill

'Cause I don't see no compromise
If we burning up slow
I'm just trying to fall with you
Would carry out my own demise
If we burning up slow
I'm just trying to fall for you

It was a tragedy with icing
And we about as caked up as Antoinette with a silver lining
The playbook's gone, and I really don't care which part of me is dying

Just put one foot in front of the other
One, two, three, four, five

But I ain't gone hold you to what you say
And the worst part of me is jealous of what you find okay
But you know it wasn't in my eyes
Didn't sit right with my patience
It's breezy while I die on this hill

No, I don't see no compromise
If we're burning up slow
I'm just trying to fall with you
Would carry out my own demise
If we're burning up slow
You don't gotta tell me to

So, I don't need to summarize
If we're burning up slow
I'm just trying to fall with you
There's red and yellow in the sky
Yet, we're burning up slow
I'm just trying to fall for you

I'm just trying to fall with you
