You call me over
In a crowded room
And whisper in my ear
You pull back in laughter
Loud enough for everyone to hear
You lift me up
Single me out
And make me feel like I'm better
And when the night is over
And the drinks are cleared
We leave together
In seperate cars
Keep me on the backburner
I'm happy here
Keep me on the backburner
I'm happy here
Keep me on the backburner
I'm happy here
And I don't tell you
Where I am
You'll find out on your own
And you don't ask me
How my day went
'Cause you don't need to know
And this illusion
That I cling to
Gives me a place to be
'Cause if you're never really here
You can never really leave
Keep me on the backburner
I'm happy here
Keep me on the backburner
I'm happy here
Keep me on the backburner
I'm happy here
Keep me on the backburner
I'm happy here
