Louisa Wendorff Louisa Wendorff - Slow Dancing In A Burning House

I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside
I couldn't get you out
I laid beside you and pulled you close
And the two of us went up in smoke

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 house
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'll try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand

I've been sleepwalking
Been wandering all night
Trying to take what's lost and broken
Make it right
I've been sleepwalking
Too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room

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

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning house
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room

I've been sleepwalking
Been wandering all night
Trying to take what's lost and broken
Make it right
And I've been sleepwalking
Too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house

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 house
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
