for two years I burned
then I smoldered
now I simmer
over you


now I crave something calmer
eternity in a slow song
my heart is swimming in a lake
learning not to ache for desire

love is a candle tipped in trip wire
only fools let it burn
only a foolish witch
would tie herself to the pyre

lovers you can keep em
lovers it may seem like I need em but I don't need em
love is a shade of lemon lime
not always bitter, but bitter most of the time

for all these years in which I've burned
I now release the dove for which I've yearned
don't you come back to me

kindly refrain
I'm kicking up my heels
clicking them three times
hoping I can stay

my heart is swimming in a lake
learning not to ache for desire


Love is a candle tipped in trip wire
only fools let it burn
only a foolish witch
would tie herself to the pyre

lovers you can keep em
lovers I may seem like I need em but I don't need em
love is a shade of lemon lime
not always bitter, but bitter most of the time
