lyrics

Your truck is idling in my drive
A slow smoke curling off your flame
And every reason I survive
Walks out to meet you all the same

You're no good, and I know, I know
I keep touching the stove
It's warm before it burns me, though
I keep touching the stove
Lord, I keep touching the stove
I keep touching the stove

Peach gone soft on the sill
Sweet as sin and sweeter still
I know rot from twenty feet
But God, the first bite's sweet

Someday I'll let the fire die
Pack my grit and say goodbye
But tonight your headlights swing
Low and gold through everything

I keep touching the stove
I keep touching the stove
It's warm before it burns me, though
I keep touching the stove
