Song of the Moment: Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer


It's not a silly little moment,
It's not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on.

Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody's gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,we're slow dancing in a burning room.

I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

I'll make the most of all the sadness,
You'll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room.

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room,

Don't you think we oughta know by now?

Just making it through the day listening 8tracks and this song came on.  I don't think I've ever posted it, but I should have.  The live version is my favourite and it actually arrived in my personal library of music after someone put it there.  Whenever I hear it, I don't think about any relationship I've had, but I think of the ones that mystery media-er has had, and it's still beautiful.
