Crime & Punishment In Suburbia movie - Burn, Don't Freeze lyrics

rate me

Song by Sleater-Kinney<br /><br>

I’d set your heart on fire but arson is no way<br>

to make a love burn brighter.<br>

(When you saw me, on that first day<br>

said I’d blossom under your care).<br>

<br>

Always thought that the devil was the only one<br>

who knew the ins and the outs of the ways of love,<br>

so I sold off my heart to see how this would end,<br>

now I can’t move an inch for fear it will begin.<br>

(Wrap me up tight inside your wing<br>

Is it safe now, is it safe to breathe?)<br>

<br>

You come in between me and the darkness,<br>

please don’t ever leave.<br>

(I force my eyes open, and now who has changed?<br>

You look different, so different today)<br>

<br>

Holding your eyes in the hardest stare<br>

running around like you wanted me there<br>

Lookin’ at me like I’m the hottest in town<br>

then turnin’ your back when you’re movin’ around<br>

I ain’t gonna listen to you no more<br>

breakin’ outta this place throwin’ open the door<br>

Use me up just to fan the flame<br>

but you’ll be sony as I’m walkin’ away<br>

(Backwards, forwards going out of my mind,<br>

spinning way off time<br>

Fire to water baby’s putting me out)<br>

<br>

You’re the truest light I’ve known,<br>

but someday I’ll learn I don’t need your fuel to burn.<br>

I’m the one who decides who I am<br>

I’m the one who will shed this old skin)<br>

<br>

Always thought that hell was the only place<br>

hot enough to melt our hearts into a locked embrace<br>

There’s something so safe about a lack of air<br>

the only way to make sure that you’ll always be there<br>

(I force my eyes open, and now who has changed?<br>

I feel different, so different today)<br>

<br>
