lyrics

[Verse]
I'm walking back up Charlotte St
My head is down, looking at my feet
I hope you're home, sorting all your shoes
Ready for the thoughts I've got running through

And then I saw you there

[Verse]
You stare at me like you know what I'll say
I'm scared to run, I can't look away
You're edging closer to the back doorway
I can't keep down what I have to say

[Chorus]
You know I love you like I have
And don't you think I'm turning back
But you've slowly burning and I'm drowning
You've been slowly burning and I'm drowning
I keep all of my secrets in my sleep

[Verse]
Here comes that face
Now you're advancing on my hands
Don't call the cops, don't you understand
You know I'll always take your call
But this right here, doesn't work at all

[Chorus]
You know I love you like I have
And don't you think I'm turning back
But you've slowly burning and I'm drowning
You've been slowly burning and I'm drowning
You've been slowly burning and I'm drowning
You've been slowly burning and I'm drowning

[Interlude]
I shuffle out onto the street
Autumn leaves are at my feet
You're screaming in the background
I found my peace

[Outro]
(You've been slowly burning)
I keep my secrets in my sleep
(You've been slowly burning)
I keep my secrets in my sleep
(You've been slowly burning)
I keep my secrets in my sleep
(You've been slowly burning)
I keep my secrets in my sleep
