Back Burner

[Intro]

How many times

How many times

How many times

How many times

How many times

How many times

Do I need to tell you?

[Chorus]

Once more, but this time with feeling

Off grid, words lose their meaning

These nights have lost a certain feeling

Through flames we turn to gold

Sometimes, it feels like we're dreaming

Kiss me hard, make me feel it

Tonight, let's awaken old feelings

Through flames we turn to gold

[Verse 1]

See, my guy's one of a kind

And he likes to go all night

But lately I've been thinking like there's something on his mind

Like our puzzle's not connecting and

Maybe it's our time

It's giving me anxiety

Just when we think we've cracked it

God shows her true plan

Have I been so inconsiderate, only wrapped up in myself?

Have I been so absent-minded not to feel the hours weep?

Every day, every week

Do you remember how we hit it when we were in our prime?

Riding bikes to the Thames and doing it twice a night

We'll never have those days again, will we babe?

See, I'm not trying to start with you, so baby just be kind

Do you really want to punish me for some unspoken crime?

Do you really want to choke the love that used to rule our lives?

Let's not start the day like this

[Chorus]

Once more, but this time with feeling

Off grid, words lose their meaning

These nights have lost a certain feeling

('Cause) through flames we turn to gold

Sometimes, it feels like we're dreaming

Kiss me hard, make me feel it

Tonight, let's awaken old feelings (oh)

Through flames we turn to gold

[Verse 2]

So please don't take that tone with me, just put a record on

No, I don't fuck with The Smiths, but to The Cure I can get down

We could put on Radio 4 and listen to them talk

Like grown-ups talk

For all the times I was unkind and pushed you till you snapped

For all the times I said the things I know I can't get back

For all the times I told you lies and brought tears to your eyes

I'm so sorry I made you cry

[Bridge]

Watching First Dates on the sofa

Feet still touch your hand in mine

We watch as romance starts to flicker

Never tire of the sparks

Feel the canyon drift between us

As silence takes us to the night

Still hoping that you'll save me

Throw those arms around me

Squeeze me till my cracks heal

Fuse the broken parts of me

[Outro]

I'm sorry if I'm doing it wrong

I'm sorry if I'm not the one

For all of the times that I tried but I failed to put you first

I'm sorry if I'm doing it wrong

I'm sorry if I'm not the one

For all of the times that I acted a fool and put you on the back burner

Back burner

Back burner

Back burner

Back burner

(Back burner)

(oh)
