Embers Songtext
von Afterthought

Let′s take it back to the start
Been chasing Circles for too long
Always wishing for something out of reach
Craving every day to cradle
The notes you left sprawled on the table
All the things that you leave just out of reach

You're burning up the oxygen
Now there′s no air left to breathe
You're twirling on the tabletops, taking centre stage
I'm watching as you smile so bright
But if I say "I love you", I′ll catch alight
And I just can′t stand the pain tonight

Everywhere that I go and everywhere that I look
I hear your voice cut through
It calls me back to you
All those times we talked until midnight
All the stories we told to escape this life
But nothing could hold a candle to your eye


You're burning up the oxygen
Now there′s no air left to breathe
You're twirling on the tabletops, taking centre stage
I′m watching as you smile so bright
But if I say "I love you", I'll catch alight
And I just can′t stand the pain tonight

Now I stand here on the line
Should I tiptoe on thin ice?
Will I bend and break this time?
Or will I be alright?

I'm running from these burning embers
It doesn't feel like I am free
And if I tell you I don′t love you
Would you ever forgive me?

You′re burning up the oxygen
Now there's no air left to breathe
You′re twirling on the tabletops, taking centre stage
I'm watching as you smile so bright
But if I say "I love you", I′ll catch alight
And I just can't stand the pain tonight

So will I say "I love you"
What if you say "I love you"
So will I say "I love you"
So will I say "I love you" and catch alight
But I just can′t stand the pain tonight
