Burning My Rowboat

[Verse 1]
I've started a fire in my old rowboat
I wanted to stay on shore with you
I've broken both of the oars into kindling wood
So I can't row away from you like I used to do

[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I know I belong right here
Some days it's not big enough for both of us
Some days there are beautiful ships that come into view

[Chorus]
But I'm burning my old rowboat
I'm burning my old rowboat
Oh won't you please burn your rowboat too?

[Verse 2]
You pretend not to notice when I say my "forevers" and "completely"
Pretend not to hear me when I say my "I love yous"
You think that the first time I hear somе sailor singing sweetly
That I'll just row away from you like I used to do

[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I know I bеlong right here
Some days it's not big enough for both of us
Some days there are beautiful ships that come into view

[Chorus]
But I'm burning my old rowboat
I'm burning my old rowboat
Oh won't you please burn your rowboat too?

[Bridge]
I saw the painted paradise
On a painted ocean
Oh but it didn't look very much at all
Like the place I've chosen
But that's what makes Shangri-La Shangri-La
It's only good as a painted notion

[Chorus]
But I'm burning my old rowboat
I'm burning my old rowboat
Oh won't you please burn your rowboat too?
