Slow Burn

How am I supposed to love you If I don't even know you? I've been fooled about a thousand times before By the opening of doors And somebody's best intentions Bring me the coals instead of kerosene There's something to be said about the power in the waiting So lean a little closer Let me tell you what I've learned The most beautiful smoke Comes from a slow burn Slow burn, slow burn I'm convinced That it's all about unlearning A constant overturning Of perfection's dirty hand I want truth To carve a river through me 'Cause life is not a movie It's a complicated dance Bring me the coals instead of kerosene There's something to be said about the power in the waiting So lean a little closer Let me tell you what I've learned The most beautiful smoke Comes from a slow burn Slow burn, slow burn Slow burn, slow burn
