Slow Burn
Crywolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I can't sleep a wink these nights
You're still here with me
And I feel you pull me
Pulling me down

I can't escape from ya (oh)
I can still feel you claws in me (twistin 'round)
I can't explain what you did to me
And now I'm stuck here

Dreaming in my mind
Rubbing on my chest
You're all up in my brain
Baby, you are taking the best of me
Parts of me are gone
I'm about to break
'Cause I know this isn't how it should be

And I can't sleep a wink these nights
You're still here with me
And I feel you pull me
Pulling me down

I can't escape from ya (oh)
I can still feel your claws in me (twistin 'round)
I can't explain what you did to me
And now I'm stuck here

Dreaming in my mind
Rubbing on my chest
You're all up in my brain
Baby, you are taking the best of me
Parts of me are gone




I'm about to break
'Cause I know this isn't how it should be

@BeanDar

Lonely - Friendly
Tired - Trying my hardest
Forgetful - Easy going
Live inside my head - An amazing imagination
Angst filled - Gets it done
Don't care enough about myself - Cares about others a lot
Slow to catch on - Lots of time, and intelligent
Often annoying - Persistent
Can't stop moving (literally) - Always up to something

Always finds a positive. :)

Lyrics:
And I can't sleep
Awake these nights
Oh, oh, you're still here with me
and I feel you pull me, pulling me down

I can't escape from you,
I can still feel you close, in this twisting love
I can't explain what you did to me
But now I'm stuck here,
Dreaming in my mind
Pounding in my chest,
You're caught up in my brain
Baby, you are taking the best of me
Part of me slow burn,
I'm about to think
'Cause I know there's never how it should be

And I can't see who do you think it's last
(I can't escape from you
I can't escape from you
I can't escape from you
I can't escape from you)

And I can't sleep
Awake these nights
Oh, oh, you're still here with me
and I feel you pull me, pulling me down

I can't escape from you,
I can still feel you close, in this twisting love
I can't explain what you did to me
But now I'm stuck here,
Dreaming in my mind
Pounding in my chest,
You're caught up in my brain
Baby, you are taking the best of me
Part of me slow burn,
I'm about to think
'Cause I know there's never how it should be
