Empty bottles on a dusty wooden floor
A remedy I've tried too many times
Echos in my mind of shouts and slamming doors
I've done better with goodbye

Now the sun is heading back into its grave
It's a cold October night
Taste the autumn air and hope to find a way
To keep the dark out of my mind

Kerosene, Kerosene
She lit me up
She left me numb
I call her Kerosene

Kerosene, Kerosene
She lit me up
She left me numb
I call her Kerosene

Light a candle as I lay me down to sleep
Watch the room begin to glow
Listen quietly to wind and rustling leaves
In the silence I'm at home

In my dreams I see her standing by the fire
Granite eyes reflect the flames
Humming softly 'til the embers start to tire
A faded memory that I saved

Kerosene, Kerosene
She lit me up
She left me numb
I call her Kerosene

Kerosene, Kerosene
She lit me up
She left me numb
I call her Kerosene

Kerosene, Kerosene
She lit me up
She left me numb
I call her Kerosene

Kerosene, Kerosene
She lit me up
She left me numb
I call her Kerosene
