Why can't I sleep tonight?
It's too damn hot in this bed
And I've been tossin' and turnin',
With all this scorched earth in my head
And it goes on and on and on
It keeps coming back to you
And it rages on and on and on
It all burns back to you
And I fight and I cry
No matter how hard I try
I can't get too close to the fire
No, I can't get too close to the fire
Light me up, smoke me out
Steal my heart, melt it down
But it goes on and on and on
It keeps coming back to you
It rages on and on and on
It all burns back to you
And I fight and I cry
But no matter how hard I try
I can't get too close to the fire
No, I can't get too close to the fire
