A native of rural Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, the ambitious young singer discovered her voice at a young age, learning guitar in her teenage years and eventually relocating to Los Angeles where she honed her songwriting, made connections, and rose through industry showcases until Interscope came calling.
Burn Slow
Jaira burns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fires like this can tear the world apart
I′d rather take a hit and fall
Then never fuck it up with you at all
Feel it come inside my lungs
All in, all in
Wanna take in all your love
'Cause sparks in the dark
Gonna tear through my heart
And start a fire
So before it all goes up
Baby, can we burn it slow?
Baby, can we burn it slow?
I don′t wanna lose control
Baby, can we burn it slow?
Contact from the way you act
Makes me forget the rails and go off track
Once we let go, no turning back
Damn, this feeling pushes me to the max
Feel it come inside my lungs
All in, all in
Wanna take in all your love
Release
'Cause sparks in the dark
Gonna tear through my heart
And start a fire
So before it all goes up
Baby, can we burn it slow?
Baby, can we burn it slow?
I don't wanna lose control
Baby, can we burn it slow?
Can we burn slow?
Can we burn slow?
Feel it come inside my lungs
Wanna take in all your love
So before it all goes up
So before it all goes up
Baby, can we burn it slow?
Baby, can we burn it slow?
I don′t wanna lose control
So baby, can we burn it slow?
Can we burn slow?
Can we burn slow?
The lyrics of Jaira Burns's song Burn Slow express the desire to take things slow and enjoy the moment. The beginning of the song sets the tone with the line "A little crazy from the start, fires like this can tear the world apart." This suggests that the relationship is intense and potentially destructive, but the desire to be with the other person is stronger than any negative consequences.
The chorus, with the repeated line "Baby, can we burn it slow?" reinforces the idea of slowing down and savoring the connection between two people. The line "I don't wanna lose control" reflects a fear of the intensity of the relationship and wanting to approach it with caution.
The second verse references the way the other person's actions push the singer to forget their own limitations and take risks. It seems the singer is willing to abandon their previous boundaries in order to experience this relationship. However, they still hope to slow down and avoid any potential consequences of moving too fast.

Your touch and the way you treat me are so powerful that I lose touch with reality. I know that once we start, there’s no turning back. But there’s an irresistible feeling that makes me want to take the plunge.
