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 dying breath of
This love that we've been working 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 going down
And you can see it too.
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burning 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 to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.

We're going down
And you can see it too.
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

Go cry about it - why don't you?
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
