Got a message in my mailbox
From an old friend I hardly see.
All it said was you were trying
To get in touch with me.
And I stared down at your number
And I felt passion and I felt fear,
And I wondered what the hell you wanted
After all these years?
Cause there is danger in the embers,
And you have only yourself to blame
If you get burned when you try to rekindle
That old flame…
Well I know we ended badly
And I was angry for a long time.
But I've grown some and I wanted you to know
That I'm doing just fine,
And I'm not asking for a replay,
I got no delusions, got no designs.
Can I borrow just a little cup of kindness
For Auld Lang Syne?
Cause there is danger in the embers,
And you have only yourself to blame
If you get burned when you try to rekindle
That old flame…
Speak to me plain,
Tell me the truth,
Is it really me you miss
Or just your long lost youth?
Yeah, there is danger in the embers,
And you know, nothing, nothing stays the same.
Yeah, you can get burned when you try to rekindle
That old flame,
Yeah, you can get burned when you try to rekindle
That old flame…
