we made love until we cried and cried ourselves to laughter
laughed until we realized our hearts were struck were fear
how in just a moment's time could one see for ever after
i gently lie beside of you and dream away my tears

won't you let me treat you kind
we're gonna burn to shine

funny things you learn from your mama
like the way to throw your head back when you're swallowing pills
funny things you learn from your papa
like when you're talking you just can't keep your hands still
but that was now and this is then it never lasts for long
how i miss the good old days but i'm so glad they're gone

won't you let me treat you kind
we're gonna burn to shine

i'd like to spend the time that you would like to spend with me
so that you can help me out with my dependency
'cause i'm hopelessly addicted to your sorrow
makes me never want to work, only beg and borrow

won't you let me treat you kind
we're gonna burn to shine
