(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)

(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)

[Verse 1]

I'm wounded

I'm meeker than if I was strong

I'm falling in and out of love

But you see

I'm movin' so slow

And if I were to break in two

And these words that I wrote for you

Escape from me like embers

Dancing round a fire

That is slowly burning out

[Chorus]

I would tell you to hold on, to wait

I'd tell you to slow down, to stay

Just the simplest touch leaves a burn on me

The simplest touch leaves a burn on me

I'd tell you to hold on, to wait

I'd tell you to slow down, to stay

Just the simplest touch leaves a burn on me

The simplest touch leaves a burn on me

(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)

[Verse 2]

I'm losing

Can barely even hold my own

You're blind and you won't hear no more

Oh this rage is insatiable

And if you were to up the heat

Throw the fire inside of me

I'm like the sun that warms the ocean

The moment that the night falls

I will leave you cold and empty

[Chorus]

Hold on, wait [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]

Oh, won't you slow down and stay? [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]

Just the simplest touch leaves a burn on me

The simplest touch leaves a burn on me

Oh, don't walk away [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]

Oh, won't you slow down and stay? [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]

Oh I can't get these burns off me

Oh no, I can't get these burns off me, oh

(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)

[Bridge]

Set alight my skin

And I'll melt like ice

(Hold onto me, hold onto me)

I could drift within

Waves of your embrace

(Hold onto me, hold onto me)

Oh, we've got no space between us

It's just you and I in flames

And we're burning on the inside

But outside we seem the same

There's no clarity

When our worlds collide

(Hold onto me, hold onto me)

(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)

Hold onto me, hold onto me

Hold onto me, hold onto me
