Inflections
Lost in the Flames: A Tale of Temptation and Regret
Lyrics
I've been sitting here wasting the day
I have spent the day idly, accomplishing nothing.
Just keeping all of your flirtations at bay
I have been deflecting your advances or teasing.
Think i might just go and lose my mind
I am considering losing my sanity.
The way you keep me here should be a crime
Your influence or presence is so strong that it feels like a crime.
And i was just trying to stay under control
I tried to maintain composure, but you evoke memories of someone from my past.
But you remind me of someone i used to know
If we become emotionally distant, it could be detrimental for both of us.
God help us both if we get much too cold
Expressing concern about the consequences if things turn cold between us.
Should've listened but i told you so
Despite advice, I didn't heed warnings and now face the consequences.
And it's the millionth time i cast aside your flame
I have repeatedly ignored your passion or intensity.
But you come back stronger placing all of the blame
You return stronger, blaming me for the problems.
And i can't fight it don't think any man could
I can't resist it, and no one could.
Inflections in your voice that sound so good, so good
Your voice has attractive qualities or nuances.
And you put your gentle fingers on my eyes
Your tender touch on my eyes is a delightful surprise.
What a pleasantly evocative surprise
A positive and evocative experience.
And all the lessons learned you know i lost them in your wake
I've forgotten the lessons learned because of you.
And all the phantom pains and frictions fade and break, they break
Issues and conflicts disappear in your presence.
Well I've been trying to tell you all damn day
I've been trying to convey this message throughout the day.
You got to but your inhibitions away
Discarding inhibitions is necessary.
And all that alcohol that kills your brain
Alcohol, though harmful to the brain, seems to keep you sane.
Well i can see how much it keeps you sane
Observing the balancing act of alcohol in maintaining sanity.
And you just want to lose all your control
You desire to relinquish control.
You remind me of someone i used to know
You resemble someone from my past, creating emotional challenges.
God help us both if we get much to cold
Expressing concern again about the potential emotional distance.
Well you should've listened but i told you so
If only you had listened to advice.
And it's the millionth time i cast aside your flame
Repeatedly rejecting the intensity of your emotions.
But you come back stronger placing all of the blame
You return with increased intensity, blaming me.
And i can't fight it don't think any man could
Resisting the emotional pull seems impossible.
Inflections in your voice that sound so good, so good
The nuances in your voice are irresistibly appealing.
And you put your gentle fingers on my eyes
Your gentle touch on my eyes remains a pleasant surprise.
What a pleasantly evocative surprise
A positive and evocative experience reiterated.
And all the lessons learned well i lost them in your wake babe
I've forgotten the lessons learned due to your influence.
And all the phantom pains and frictions fade and break, oh they break
Conflicts and discomfort dissolve in your presence.
