LYRICS

VERSE 1:
Always worlds apart, But that never stopped us.
So I got to know you, Through letters and Skype calls
You taught me how to love, Chemistry and the stars,
Even Calculus, and myself.


CHORUS:
Oh I've been burning down, Burning down since you left us
I've been reaching out, Oh reaching out for you
Oh I've been burning down, Burning down without you
Oh I've been reaching out, Reaching out for you


VERSE 2:
I remember reading out, In the garden,
Grandma's cooking filling up Our noses,
You taught me how to love, Poetry and fiction,
Even mu-u-sic, and myself


CHORUS:
Oh I've been burning down, Burning down without you
I've been reaching out, Oh reaching out for you
Oh I've been burning down, Burning down without you
Oh I've been reaching out, Reaching out for you


VERSE 3:
You see there's still sadness when,
There's no birthday card from you
But I see you everyday,
Reflected in mother’s eyes


CHORUS:
Oh I’m still burning down, Burning down without you
I'm still reaching out, Oh reaching out for you
Oh I'm still burning down, Burning down without you
Oh I've still reaching out, Always reaching out for you
