NIKI – Backburner Lirik
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).
The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
The way you should be too.
But you bring them up
Along with how much I fucking miss you.
Maybe I’m just not better 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.
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.
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.
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 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).
