The Burn (Live)
I wore you proudly, Tennessee on a chain
If anyone asks, it's only the gold that's fake
So you'll stare at the ceiling fan
Don't let the blade hit you on the way down
The kids are running through fire hydrant sprinklers
Every time I'm not over you, it's 'cause the seasons linger
But then it changes, then it's summer again
I still hold it in
You set me off, but I didn't explode
Ran in different directions, couldn't pick a way to go
Oh, I don't know if I loved you
But I sure loved the burn
Good at open tunings, no good at open books
Pages are turning, I'll read em til the words blur
I'll wonder what I was thinking
Maybe nothing, maybe something
Did we fall, or did we stare at each other too long?
You set me off, but I didn't explode
Ran in different directions, couldn't pick a way to go
Oh, I don't know if I loved you
But I sure loved the burn
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
That you can't pick 'em all
Some things turn sour, some things turn wise
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Hearing it made me feel so small
Some things are easy, and some flicker with time
You set me off, but I didn't explode
You set me off, but I didn't explode
Ran in different directions, couldn't pick a way to go
Oh, I don't know if I loved you
But I sure loved the burn
If anyone asks, it's only the gold that's fake
So you'll stare at the ceiling fan
Don't let the blade hit you on the way down
The kids are running through fire hydrant sprinklers
Every time I'm not over you, it's 'cause the seasons linger
But then it changes, then it's summer again
I still hold it in
You set me off, but I didn't explode
Ran in different directions, couldn't pick a way to go
Oh, I don't know if I loved you
But I sure loved the burn
Good at open tunings, no good at open books
Pages are turning, I'll read em til the words blur
I'll wonder what I was thinking
Maybe nothing, maybe something
Did we fall, or did we stare at each other too long?
You set me off, but I didn't explode
Ran in different directions, couldn't pick a way to go
Oh, I don't know if I loved you
But I sure loved the burn
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
That you can't pick 'em all
Some things turn sour, some things turn wise
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Hearing it made me feel so small
Some things are easy, and some flicker with time
You set me off, but I didn't explode
You set me off, but I didn't explode
Ran in different directions, couldn't pick a way to go
Oh, I don't know if I loved you
But I sure loved the burn
