Burning All Afternoon (Verse 1) The curtains breathe in silver light Dust and shadows drift so white I hear your name inside the rain Again again again again The hours crawl across the floor Like every day I knew before And every sound becomes your skin Pull me under once again (Pre-Chorus) And I... I burn slow Like a record turning low I know You’ll come close But the waiting steals my soul (Chorus) All afternoon I wait for you All afternoon I ache for you Burning Burning Burning for you All afternoon I dream of you All afternoon I drown in you Burning Burning Burning for you (Verse 2) The city melts in pale blue haze I count the cracks I count the days Your ghost is hanging in my room Perfume and smoke and fading moon My hands are cold my heart’s too loud Your silence wraps me like a shroud And every second pulls me thin Till you come back and breathe me in (Pre-Chorus) And I... I fall deep Into shadows I can’t keep No sleep Only heat Only you inside of me (Chorus) All afternoon I wait for you All afternoon I ache for you Burning Burning Burning for you All afternoon I dream of you All afternoon I drown in you Burning Burning Burning for you (Bridge) Come back Come back Come back to me Come back Come back Come back to me I’m burning I’m burning I’m burning (Final Chorus — softer, hypnotic) All afternoon I wait for you All afternoon I ache for you Burning Burning Burning for you...
