I feel I'm slowly burning myself down to the wick
Cos when I'm turning corners, my mind throws a new trick
The sun is slowly rising and I'm opening my eyes
Trying to remember what I dreamt and what I lied
The sky is slowly sinking and I'm lying on my lawn
And in my mind I'm thinking of here and what has gone
The stars are slowly forming into a pattern that's quite clear
And in my mind I'm warming to the one I once held dear
Oh-oh-oh-oh
A car is slowly approaching, but you don't know who's inside
But the news they'll bring leaves you coasting on a really steep decline
A voice is slowly shouting out the same things it said yesterday
But this music just keeps drowning all those awful things away
The moon is slowly rising and I'm cross-legged on my bed
And this song I'm improvising, well it's making too much sense
I know I'm slowly burning like a match struck by fire
But in my mind I'm yearning to do what I desire
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I feel I'm slowly burning myself down to the wick
Cos when I'm turning corners, my mind throws a new trick
I know I'm slowly burning like a match struck by fire
And though my mind is yearning, I can't get any higher
