Slow Dancing in a Burning Room Lyrics by Lindsay Ell

The Continuum Project

2018

[Verse 1]
It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been workin' on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms
Nobody's going to come and save you
We've pulled too many false alarms
[Chorus]
We're going down (down)
And you can see it, too
We're going down, down (down)
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Verse 2]
I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
When baby, you're the only light I think I ever saw
I'll make the most of all the sadness
You'll be a--, because you can
You try to hit me, just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
'Cause you, you can't understand
[Chorus]
We're going down (down)
And you can see it, too
We're going down (down)
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Bridge]
And go cry about it, why don't you?
And go cry about it, why don't you, yeah?
And ooh, go cry about it, go cry about it?
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we should've learned somehow?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we should've learned somehow?
Don't you think we oughta know
Don't you think we oughta oughtta learned somehow?
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
