Lirik Lagu Backburner

[Verse 1]

I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling

You sound sad and alone, and you're stalling

And for once, I don't care about what you want

As long as we keep talking (As long as we're talking)

I mean, you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched

Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that

Well, whether we're free of will or predestined

Clearly, I've not learned my lesson even now

Hope He doesn't strike me down (Strike me down)

[Pre-Chorus]

The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me

The way you should bе, too

But you bring them up

Along with how much I fucking miss you

[Chorus]

Maybe I'm just not bettеr than this, I haven't tried

Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die

You'd think I'd be a fast learner

But guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner

[Post-Chorus]

Backburner

Your backburner

Your backburner

Your backburner

[Verse 2]

It's pathetic, but at least you are, too

I don't know what to do

I don't like anyone except sometimes you

And now you're sounding like a hurt puppy

You look ugly when you cry

But I'm the one you think to call

How do you feel lucky and appalled at the same time?

After everything you put me through

I somehow still believe in you, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But I know in a week or so

You'll fade away again

And I wish that I cared

Hey, are you still there?

Good

[Chorus 2]

Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried

'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time

I thought I was a fast learner

But guess I won't ever mind, guess I won't ever mind

Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride

Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes

(It's their fault that) I'll always be in your corner

'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burnin' on your backburner, oh-oh (Backburner, your backburner)

[Outro]

Oh, and I know that it's sad that I settle for the backburner, oh-oh

(Your backburner, your backburner)

(Your backburner, your backburner)

Oh, guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner, oh-oh

(Your backburner, your backburner)

(Backburner, your backburner)

Oh, as long as you still think of me, oh, oh-oh

(Backburner, backburner)

(GLW)
