He Burns

He's a little explosion of hope Never turns the lights down low But he can go there if you want to though There are no markings on this country road No signs that show the way back home When you get there you won't wanna go I've frozen over my desire Covered up in virgin snow But when I stand beside him He burns yeah, he burns Like petrol-soaked paper and fireworks And I'm burning, I'm burning I'm burning so deep that just breathing hurts I'm melting darling, and I can't let go He likes to lay under the covers though Pretending everywhere's our home Keeps me warm right to my very soul We get so tangled up its hard to know What's his and what is my own Vines at the bottom of an olive grove I've frozen over my desire Covered up in virgin snow But when I stand beside him He burns yeah, he burns Like petrol-soaked paper and fireworks And I'm burning, I'm burning I'm burning so deep that just breathing hurts I'm melting darling, and I can't let go I'm melting darling, I can't let go Whoooo (can't let go) Whoooo (can't let go) Whoooo I've frozen over my desire Covered up in virgin snow But when I stand beside him He burns yeah, he burns Like petrol-soaked paper and fireworks And I'm burning, I'm burning I'm burning so deep that just breathing hurts I'm melting darling, and I can't let go I'm melting darling, and I can't let go I'm melting darling, and I can't let go
