Ember

I'm, standing here staring at the embers of our fire
The smoldering remains of what two hearts desire
I can, still smell the intoxicating gasoline
That set my soul ablaze and put my logic into quarantine
I, dove headfirst into the warmth of your affection
Where the joy I found hasn't matched recent recollection
I let the flames burn, the edges of my insecurities
To show you that even my tears can be burned thoroughly
You smelled like, all the comfort of marshmallows on a starry night
Combined with the soft glow coming off a candlelight
In your smile I'd feel the spark of our ignition
While you slowly transformed into my favorite addiction
But I never thought that we would burn so quick
I guess no matter how you try some things just don't stick
But this romance isn't a bad thing to remember
So while the flames have died I think I'll hold on to an ember

A crematorium for bad memories I'll scatter all the ashes
Cause my lessons are learned from going through rough patches
I haven't given up hope I just need to buy more matches
And gather optimism that is stuffed inside my mattress
And in the second round I want to challenge the sun
Where the heat we generate will be second to none
Hydrogen fusion would definitely envy our connection
And we'd become blind from staring at our own reflection
Let me get more fuel, refill my zippo lighter
While I find the pickup line that would allow me to ignite her
Cause this time you know I'll let this fire fade slow
And thaw out any reservations like the melting snow
Cause I never thought that we would burn so quick
I guess no matter how you try some things just don't stick
But this romance isn't a bad thing to remember
So while the flames have died I think I'll hold on to an ember
