Burn
Embers of Love Lost: Norah Jones' Poetic Unraveling
Lyrics
The plot begins with you
The narrative starts with both of us.
And me in darklit rooms
We find ourselves in dimly lit spaces.
Your cigarette cuts through
Your cigarette smoke pierces through the air.
I wear it like perfume
I embrace it like a fragrance.
The melody gives way
The musical harmony fades away.
We silently behave
We act in silence.
The story never ends
The narrative seems endless.
Is torn up into shreds
It's shredded into pieces.
I see it in your eyes
I perceive it in your gaze.
Invitation lies
An invitation is present but deceptive.
But pages left to turn
Yet, there are remaining pages to explore.
Our chapters we should burn
We should obliterate our existing chapters.
The melody gives way
The musical harmony diminishes again.
We silently behave
We continue our actions in quietness.
The story never end
The narrative seems never-ending.
Is torn up into shreds
It's torn into fragments.
I see it in your eyes
I discern it through your eyes.
An Invitation lies
An invitation is present but misleading.
But pages left to turn
However, there are still pages to unfold.
Our chapters we should burn
We should eliminate our existing chapters.
