Slow Dancing In A Burning Room

» by Justin in: My Life

I hate when someone tells you they want something, but after a while you figure out they don’t really know what they want.

Then again, do any of us know what we really want.

Such high hopes, such good feelings, such potential, and all crushed right before vacation.

My friends we truly are all slow dancing in a burning room.

by John Mayer

It’s not a silly little moment
It’s not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dyin breath of
This love 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 gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms

We’re goin down
And you can see it too
We’re goin down
And you know that we’re doomed
My dear
We’re slow dancing in a burnin room

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
Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw

I’ll make the most of all the sadness
You’ll be a bitch because you can
You try to hit me just hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can’t understand

We’re goin down
And you can see it too
We’re goin down
And you know that we’re doomed
My dear
We’re slow dancing in a burnin room

Go cry about it why don’t you
Go cry about it why don’t you
Go cry about it why don’t you
My dear, we’re slow dancin’ in a burnin’ room,
Burnin’ room, burnin’ room
Don’t you think we oughta know by now
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we oughta know by now
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we oughta know by now
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow

    Wonderful sound… do you sing? You look like you should have the rhythm of a musician. A very hot musician!!

    But 8 is my favorite.
    When I first heard it, I was convinced it was a remake. I can’t believe his lyrical maturity.

    It appears that you are no longer updating your blog (boooooo!).

    In an effort to keep my blogroll fresh and up-to-date, I’m going to remove your site from it.

    If in the future you start blogging again, just let me know and I’ll add you back.

    Hope all is well. Please keep in touch.
