Backburner - Live at The Wiltern NIKI

[Intro]
"This is my not so secret favorite on the record"
"It's a song called 'Backburner'"

[Verse 1]
I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling
You sound sad and alone, and you're stalling
And for once, I don't care about what you want
As long as we keep talking (As long as we're talking)
I mean, you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched
Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that
Well, whether we're free of will or predestined
Clearly, I've not learned my lesson even now
Hope He doesn't strike me down (Strikе me down)

[Pre-Chorus]
The Goo Goo Dolls are dеad to me
The way you should be, too
But you bring them up
Along with how much I fucking miss you

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried
Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die
You'd think I'd be a fast learner
But guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner
