Burning Up

Burning Up
Let's blast off
Let's f*** shit up
Let's go for a roller coaster ride
Even a shit roller coaster ride
Let's jam off
Synthesize then shower off
Let's treat 'em mean but keep 'em keen
Leave things dirty instead of clean
Let's make ourselves at house
Take our feet off, mispronounce
Let's party hard but sleep long and late
Let's smash through lockdown, tear off the gates
Let's pretend, let's go all night
Maybe split the difference
Baby, when you turn down the lights
Over the top or under the carpet
Roll out the red
We've already started
Burning up, burning up (x8)

There was a time when I could explain
But now the words come with weight and blame
When I feel lighter, I might be drunk
Back to the bottom, my state has sunk
Let's make this right
We know the way but lost some light
On my phone there is a torch
Let me lead you to the source
Burning up, burning up (x4)
Let me tell you how it is with me today
I can't see any other way
This does not come naturally
Burning up
I haven't seen you for ten days or so
And I've been counting
Like a child with a fever
You know I'm burning up
My age says I'm an adult
But some days my heart will not be told
Hearing teenage symphonies
Dancing through my head
The undertones are on the phone
This is how you make me feel when I'm alone
I just can't get enough
Burning up
