lyrics

It's hot outside but it's getting warm in here
Where the air don't move in between our stares
As you turn love into a game of roulette
The love you give is the bullet I get
And I'm waiting, 'cause it's time to place your bet

I'm learning to question what I thought I knew
See, that's how it goes when all your plans fall through
'Cause there's nothing stopping life from her head-on crash course
Get a running start and throw yourself on board
Don't get caught waving from the shore

I don't want to wait for winter
To come round and ease my pain
I don't want to wait for winter
To fall down and put out the flame
With frozen rain

It seems so simple when you turn it around
You're afraid you'll lose the new you you've found
And who am I, am I just a step in your plan?
Take a look at me, I ain't no company man
I hope you burn, burn it to the ground

Chorus

Now I've got faith in my own homebrew
Two parts whiskey, one part forgetting you
But sooner or later the burn wears off
I recognize my soul as just flesh and cloth
And that's nothing, nobody can take away from me

Chorus
