BURN/WARD Lyrics

We’ve got the neighbors calling the cops
Our screaming and fights are so loud that the neighbors are compelled to call the police.

Because you’re screaming out my name
You're screaming my name in rage or ecstasy, depending on the moment.

I’m throwing dishes from the rooftops
I'm so mad or passionate that I'm launching dishes off the rooftop.

While you’re standing in the rain
You're outside in the rain, soaking wet, as we continue to argue or have sex.

We’re either fucking or we’re fighting
Our relationship is characterized by extremes: either having wild sex or explosive fights.

No caramel in between
There's no middle ground, no sweetness to temper the bitterness or passion.

You make me ill, but it’s such a thrill
You drive me crazy, but the intensity of our connection is so exhilarating.

You rip your shirt in half and cry
You're so emotional that you tear your own shirt apart while sobbing.

While I’m pulling out my hair
I'm so frustrated or aroused that I'm literally yanking out my hair.

I do for hours at a time
I can't stop feeling this way for hours on end.

Because true love doesn’t care
Our love is so intense that normal concerns and inhibitions don't matter.

That our cussing turns into kissing
Our arguments often dissolve into passionate kissing or lovemaking.

Lights up like a flame
Our chemistry is explosive and fiery, like a flame igniting.

You make me ill, but it’s such a thrill
You drive me crazy, but the intensity of our connection is so exhilarating.

You break the windows (yeah) on the car
You're so angry or passionate that you break the windows of a car in the heat of the moment.

But you never ever, never ever break my heart
Despite our conflicts or intense moments, you never hurt me in a way that damages our love.

A sweet disaster (yeah) from the start
Our relationship has been tumultuous and chaotic from the very beginning, but also sweet and full of passion.

It’s so far from perfect but that’s just who we are
Our relationship may be messy and imperfect, but that's part of what makes it so real and enduring.

It’s love, love, love
Despite all the craziness and drama, our bond is rooted in a deep and true love for each other.

Love, love, love
The word 'love' repeats throughout the song as a reminder of its central theme and force in our relationship.

It's love
Ultimately, all the ups and downs, the conflicts and passion, are reducible to one simple truth: it's love.
