Burn It Out

Verse 1

There I go again I’m talkin’ way too much

Not a word can get in edge-wise

I hope that no one thinks I’m fine the way I am

It’s just that silence never sits right

There I go again, I’m talkin’ out my ass

& disappointed no one’s takin’ me to task

 

Pre-Chorus

Cause I can’t slow it down

& I can’t hold it back

 

Chorus

Cause you can’t build a house on a rolling stone

Everybody’s glad when I come and I go

In between they’re pissed I’m bad with names

You can’t fight a fire with a rolled up hose

& I’ve never been to half the places I go, 49 of 50 states

But if the creek don’t rise & the world’s still round

I’m gonna heat it up until I burn it out

 

Verse 2

I can’t help wonderin’ if I’m wired all wrong

I’ve been in almost 40 weddings

I’ve stained my cummerbund with alligator tears

I’m gettin’ too good at pretending

 There I go again just pushing it too hard

There’s something challenging about an open bar

 

Bridge

I can see myself a husband with a daughter

I can see myself a lush who dies alone

In between em both’s my mother & my father

Beggin’ me to pick a road
