Burning

On a drive I'm taking back roads
High against where the river's flowin'
I didn't think that our love had grown
You had me dead to rights
Hey I'm trying to get some rest to keep on moving
Cross the bridge to redefine your pain
And the answers in your heart
So if you look you'll find yourself
You're not the demon in the dark
Can you rectify it?
So as you find yourself flying high up there
When you release me from your heart again
I'm just a burning man
Trying to keep the shit from turning over
Again
Cross the bridge
Derivative of pain
Caused the burning in your heart
Like a stranded kid in a doorway
Just burning
