i get a little burned

people get angry

people get lost inside their lives

don't know what they're saying

don't know if they're dead or they're alive

when all of these right things and wrong things surround me

i feel an emotion that's keeping me still

whenever you reach out for me

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

whenever you reach out for love

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

sometimes you're a fire

sometimes you're a candle burning bright

higher and higher

into the spirit of the night

it's not the winning or losing that matters

it's just the beginning of something called love

whenever you reach out for me

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

whenever you reach out for love

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

and in the morning as we lay there sleeping

i feel an emotion that's keeping me still

whenever you reach out for me

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

whenever you reach out for love

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

whenever you reach out for me

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

whenever you reach out for love

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

i get a little burned

and in the morning as we lay there sleeping

i'm hoping that someone is keeping me warm

and in the morning as we lay there sleeping

i feel an emotion that's keeping me still

it's not the winning or losing that matters

it's just the beginning of something called love
