On a Slow Fuse

Cold
As in us
As in dying
As in over
Cold
As in through
As in burnt out
As in done for

Nothing spectacular
We grew
And then we grew up
Gradually we altered
Happy, but frozen

Cold
As in us
As in dying
As in over
Cold
As in through
As in burnt out
As in done for

I took it for granted
We wouldn't get what we wanted
I wasn’t complaining
But then I wasn't doing anything
Just cold, so cold

The more we were together
The less we'd have to find
The more we were apart
The less we’d look behind
We both saw it coming
Minute by painful minute
The second we came together
We lit a slow fuse to our finish

Ice cold
As in us
As in dying
As in over
Cold
As in through
As in burnt out
As in done for
As in dying
As in over
As in us
So cold
