"The Burn" lyrics

"The Burn"

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah

I thought about
Leavin' but I couldn't even get outta bed
I'm hangin' 'cause I couldn't get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come 'round

I thought about
Singin' but I couldn't 'member all of the words
Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart
Laughin', never knowing what the joke was about
Now I'm down

And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time

Forgot about
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind
Takes time

So I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time
And still shine, yeah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
(Oh, no, no, oh)
Yeah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
(Oh, no)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah
(Oh, no)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah

And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
All this time I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make their life
One strain at a time
And still shine

Hey, everybody!
Let's all try and play the same song
Just for the sake of our sanities
