[Verse 1]
How am I supposed to love you
If I don't even know you?
I've been fooled about a thousand times before
By the opening of doors
And somebody's best intentions

[Chorus]
Bring me the coals instead of kerosene
There's something to be said about the power in the waiting
So lean a little closer
Let me tell you what I've learned
The most beautiful smoke
Comes from a slow burn
Slow burn, slow burn

[Verse 2]
I'm convinced
That it's all about unlearning
A constant overturning
Of perfection's dirty hand
I want truth
To carve a river through me
'Cause life is not a movie
It's a complicated dance
[Chorus]
Bring me the coals instead of kerosene
There's something to be said about the power in the waiting
So lean a little closer
Let me tell you what I've learned
The most beautiful smoke
Comes from a slow burn
Slow burn, slow burn

[Outro]
Slow burn, slow burn
