Back Burner

Back in the shadows again
I'm comfortable hiding
Nobody's paying attention
It's dark here, I like it

I'm out of the spotlight,
Floating in familiar places
Maybe I've lost sight
Suspended in my safe spaces

cll of a sudden I've spent my time
Just surviving

I'm done being on the back burner
Won't let myself slip further away
Take all that I am, put it in my own hands
Can't live my life on the back burner
I'll strike a match, igniting a flame
If I don't get it right, I'll dance in my own light
Can't put me on the back burner

I blamed the weather
cnd put it all on the timing
I've never moved with the seasons before
But I'm trying

I've been so cautious
Finger on a loaded lighter
In the darkness
cnd I want to play with fire

I'm done being on the back burner
Won't let myself slip further away
Take all that I am, put it in my own hands
Can't live my life on the back burner
I'll strike a match, igniting a flame
If I don't get it right, I'll dance in my own light
Can't put me on the back burner

I'm done being on the back burner
Won't let myself slip further away
Take all that I am, put it in my own hands
Can't live my life on the back burner
I'll strike a match, igniting a flame
If I don't get it right, I'll dance in my own light
Can't put me on the back burner
