Burns Like You
Igniting Love: Tyler Deaver's Passionate Tale in 'Burns Like You'
Lyrics
I'm up on the tractor I see you over there
I'm on the tractor, observing you nearby
Doing my best not to blankly stare
Trying not to stare absentmindedly
I want your attention I'll do what I can
Desiring your attention, willing to make an effort
And just so you know, I'm a damn good man
Asserting that he is a capable and virtuous man
Ah ooh ah ooh
Repeating vocalizations, possibly expressing emotion
Please take my hand, let's dance the night away
Inviting the person to dance with him
We'll light some candles so our eyes know what to say
Suggesting a romantic atmosphere with lit candles
Something's burning, see the smoke now, ain't much we can do
Noting a metaphorical fire, acknowledging limited control
Water ain't no use, when the fire burns like you
Emphasizing the intensity of the emotional "fire"
Ah ooh ah ooh
Repeating vocalizations, maintaining emotional tone
Had my eye on you since we was 17
Expressing a longstanding interest since adolescence
I asked for your hand, and your pa just said we'll see
Recalling a hesitant response from the person's father
I'm gonna show him I can love you and this piece of ground
Committing to prove love for both the person and the land
But until then I'll meet you at sundown
Suggesting rendezvous at sundown until approval
Please take my hand, let's dance the night away
Repeating the invitation to dance, emphasizing connection
We'll light some candles so our eyes know what to say
Reiterating the romantic setting with lit candles
Something's burning, see the smoke now, ain't much we can do
Revisiting the metaphorical burning, acknowledging limitation
Water ain't no use, when the fire burns like you
Reaffirming the intense nature of the emotional "fire"
Ah ooh ah ooh
Repeating vocalizations, maintaining emotional tone
Please take my hand, let's dance the night away
Reissuing the invitation to dance, emphasizing connection
We'll light some candles so our eyes know what to say
Restating the romantic ambiance with lit candles
Something's burning, see the smoke now, ain't much we can do
Echoing the metaphorical burning, acknowledging constraint
Water ain't no use, when the fire burns like you
Emphasizing the intense nature of the emotional "fire"
Ah ooh ah ooh
Repeating vocalizations, maintaining emotional tone
