Slow Burn

(album: Running In Borrowed Shoes - 2019)

How am I supposed to love you
If I don't even know you?
I've been fooled about a thousand times before
By the opening of doors
And somebody's best intentions

Bring me the coals instead of kerosene
There's something to be said about the power in the waiting
So lean a little closer
Let me tell you what I've learned
The most beautiful smoke
Comes from a slow burn
Slow burn, slow burn

I'm convinced
That it's all about unlearning
A constant overturning
Of perfection's dirty hand
I want truth
To carve a river through me
'Cause life is not a movie
It's a complicated dance

Bring me the coals instead of kerosene
There's something to be said about the power in the waiting
So lean a little closer
Let me tell you what I've learned
The most beautiful smoke
Comes from a slow burn
Slow burn, slow burn

Slow burn, slow burn
