Jamie Green: Music
Still Burn
(Jamie Green)
J. Green, P. de Beauport, B. Macpherson
You know how when you’ve just broken up with somebody, you begin to romanticize the one before the him or her that got away? Well, that’s what this song is—a big fat romanticization of my college sweetheart who gave me the sexy nickname, “Flame.”
V1
I was a stubborn girl with a chip on my shoulder
As large as the love in my heart
You were a macho dude with a poem or two
And respect for my passionate fire
B sect 1
We had our own ideas of the paths we would choose
Didn’t dare to build a road we could share
Oh but you were such a clever fool
Left me with a nickname only you could use
CHORUS
When you gave me the name of Flame
You must have known that it would remain
Cause while I remember why we were through
I forget and still burn for you
Oh yeah, still burn for you
V2
There was a time when you wished that I could have been as
Spontaneous as you and your friends
I’m sure that you loved in when on a whim I showed up
On a London tube to see you again
B sect 2
You encouraged me, so imagine my state
When your greeting was not like the Valentine you sent
Oh but I was such a clever fool
Convinced you that I’d moved on, baby, just like you!
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge
I searched for the reason I’d let you go
As I desired you once more
You never seem to laugh out loud
Ah yes, it’s all coming back to me now
So I returned believing I’d let you go, again
Silly me…how silly of me…
B sect 3
And I know you’ve moved on, but I want you so bad
Years gone by, still you were the best that I had
Oh and you were such a clever fool
Left me with a nickname only you could use
