Burn by Eliot Merrill Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's standing in the corner with pocketed hands
She's sitting in the middle next to a keg stand
There's tension in the air as he lights up a smoke
They won't be laughing when they can't help but to choke

[Verse 2]
Now they're running away, that house is ablaze, it's a chaotic mess
She's down on the floor, can't see to the door, fire burns in her chest
Red glow in the night, time to fight or flight, he's feeling distressed
Sirens screaming loud, he's cuffed on the ground, but he won't confess

[Verse 3]
She's in an ambulance while he's in a Crown Vic
In his back pocket, he's got broken up match sticks
She's fighting for her life in an unconscious state
The doctors say she'll die before the end of the day

[Verse 4]
He's running away, skipped town yesterday, trying to disappear
He's changing his name, been dodging the blame, he's living in fear
Been running the streets, just playing for keeps, he's almost in the clear
Her family still weeps, but he's lost the police, and still not shed a tear
