Lyrics
0:18We made love until we cried
0:22And cried ourselves to laughter
0:25Laughed until we realize our hearts were struck with fear
0:33How in just a moments time
0:36Could one see forever after
0:40I gently lie beside of you
0:43And dream away with my tears
0:48Won't you let me treat you kind
0:52We're gonna burn to shine
0:55Won't you let me treat you kind
0:59We're gonna burn to shine
1:09Funny things you learn from your mama
1:12Like the way you throw your head back when swallowing pills
1:16Funny things you learn from your papa
1:19Like when you're talking you just can't keep your hands still
1:23But that was now and this is then
1:26It never lasts for long
1:30How I miss the good old days but I'm so glad they're gone
1:38Won't you let me treat you kind
1:42We're gonna burn to shine
1:45Won't you let me treat you kind
1:50We're gonna burn to shine
2:28I'd like to spend the time that you would like to spend with me
2:35So you could help me out with my dependency
2:42'Cause I'm hopelessly
2:44Addicted addicted to your sorrow
2:50Makes me never wanna work beg or borrow
2:58Won't you let me treat you kind
3:02We're gonna burn to shine
3:05Won't you let me treat you kind
3:09We're gonna burn to shine
3:12Won't you let me treat you kind
3:16We're gonna burn to shine
3:18Won't you let me treat you kind
3:23We're gonna burn to shine
We made love until we cried And cried ourselves to laughter Laughed until we realize our hearts were struck with fear How in just a moments time Could one see forever after I gently lie beside of you And dream away with my tears Won't you let me treat you kind We're gonna burn to shine Won't you let me treat you kind We're gonna burn to shine Funny things you learn from your mama Like the way you throw your head back when 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 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 you could help me out with my dependency 'Cause I'm hopelessly Addicted addicted to your sorrow Makes me never wanna work beg or borrow Won't you let me treat you kind We're gonna burn to shine Won't you let me treat you kind We're gonna burn to shine Won't you let me treat you kind We're gonna burn to shine Won't you let me treat you kind We're gonna burn to shine
