Still Burns Like That
The other side of a long marriage, where the spark never went cold. After all the years and the ash, one slow look still lights the fire. A song about desire, history, and a love that still burns like the first night.
Lyrics
Verse 1
We’ve said a lot without sayin’ a word
Let the days stack up, let the nights get blurred
Life gets loud, love gets quiet
We don’t mean to, but sometimes we hide it
Same old room, different light
Same two hearts, missin’ the spark
But I still see it in your eyes
Like an ember in the dark
Chorus
‘Cause it still burns like that
When you look at me slow
Like you already know
What I’m gonna do next
Still shakes me back
To the first time you stayed
The first time you said
You ain’t goin’ nowhere
Yeah, we’ve been through the ash
But baby, it still burns like that
Verse 2
Your touch don’t ask, it reminds
Pulls me out of my own damn mind
Every scar, every mile
Feels worth it when you smile
We ain’t new, we’re just real
Still got heat under all this steel
And when the world goes cold outside
You’re the fire I feel
Chorus
Yeah, it still burns like that
When your hand finds mine
Like we’ve got all the time
Like nothin’s gonna break us
Still brings me back
To the nights we swore
We couldn’t want more
Than the love we had
Yeah, we’ve bent, we’ve cracked
But baby, it still burns like that
Bridge
Let’s turn the lights down low again
Let the past stay where it’s been
No promises, no big plans
Just your body, your breath, my hands
Chorus (lift)
‘Cause it still burns like that
When you lean in close
Like a whispered oath
Heat deep in my soul
Still ain’t gone flat
Still ain’t gone cold
Still pure and bold
Still want you bad
Yeah, time’s tried to fade that flame
But baby, it still burns like that
Outro
So come on over here, don’t say a thing
We both know what the silence means
We’ve walked through the smoke, felt the heat fight back
And here we are now…
It still burns like that
