"Whatever Burns Will Burn" lyrics

Josh Ritter Lyrics

"Whatever Burns Will Burn"

Whatever burns will burn
Whatever burns will burn
You fall in love you learn
Whatever burns will burn

I kissed you here and also here
Our hunger fierce but we had no fear
You wrapped your wings around my throat
I heard the songbird in each note
No man is made of stone you said
We're all flesh and bone or dead
And you're no different than the rest
And like the others you'll forget

Whatever burns will burn
Whatever burns will burn
You fall in love you learn
Whatever burns will burn

No man is made of ice and steel
Though sometimes that's how they make you feel
As if you're different than the rest
'Til like the others you forget

Whatever burns will burn
Whatever burns will burn
You fall in love you learn
Whatever burns will burn
Whatever burns will burn
Whatever burns will burn
