Burn
Eternal Flames: Love's Painful Hold
Lyrics
I don't mind seeing you around here
I am comfortable with your presence in this place.
I don't mind seeing you around here
Reiteration of being fine with encountering you here.
Call my bluff no it's never enough now
Challenging your deception, realizing it's never satisfactory.
Spin me round I will find my way somehow
Despite challenges, I'll navigate and find my way.
I told you that I needed some space
Expressing the need for personal space.
I told you that I needed some space
Reiterating the request for space.
Then you went and you gave me a country
Unexpectedly received more than asked for, symbolized by a country.
I decided I needed you deeply
Realizing a deep need for your presence despite initial intentions.
'Cause you burn like the sun
Describing the intense impact of the person, comparing it to the sun's burning.
And you shoot like a gun
Highlighting the powerful and sharp nature of the person, likened to a gun.
And you stick like the stone in my shoe
Describing the person's lingering and bothersome presence as a stone in the shoe.
You know you do
Acknowledging the undeniable effect the person has.
You know you do
Reiteration of the person's impactful presence.
I walk down your street everyday
Frequently passing by the person's residence.
I walk down your street everyday
Continued routine of walking down the person's street.
Caught a glimpse of you holding another
Witnessing the person with someone else, regretting not making more effort.
Kinda wish that I fought a bit harder
Expressing a desire for a stronger effort in the past.
You didn't come to my show last week
Noticing the absence of the person at a recent performance.
You didn't come to my show last week
Reiteration of the person's non-attendance at a recent show.
Guess you're tired of listening to sad songs
Suggesting the person might be tired of melancholic songs.
My friend told me he's written another one
Learning that a friend has written another sad song.
'Cause you burn like the sun
Repeating the analogy of the person's impact, burning like the sun.
And you shoot like a gun
Reiterating the person's powerful influence, likened to a gun.
And you stick like the stone in my shoe
Continuing the metaphor of the person as a persistent discomfort, like a stone in the shoe.
You know you do
Acknowledging the inescapable nature of the person's influence.
You know you do
Reiteration of the person's lasting impact.
You know you do
Emphasizing the enduring effect of the person's presence.
You know you do
Reiteration of the person's persistent impact.
'Cause you burn like the sun

And you shoot like a gun
