Fantastic Mr. Fox - The Ballad of Janet and Jonny Lyrics

She brushed her hair to the side
And looked him dead in the eyes
He tried his best to play it cool
He had the rest of his night to decide
If he could keep up with all the lies
She just smiled and she told him that she knew

That they would never feel this way again
And they could never be the same again

He danced home that night
And fell into her bed
She could have been more careful
But the drink was in her head
But when they woke that morning
They felt no regret
They just smiled
Wiped the sleep from their eyes
And then promised to do this again

He never quite managed to play the friend
He couldn't help all the things that he'd said
She had her ways to pull him through
But she grew tired of caring alone
Of living her life through her phone
He never smiled maybe he knew

That they would never feel this way again
And they would never be the same again

She walked home that night
And cried herself to sleep
And he left all his hate
Behind the bar with his front teeth
She couldn't take the stress
She never wanted to make a scene
They're better alone
She felt it deep in her bones
Maybe now was the time she should leave

And he found out
That she was heading out of town
And he ran down
To the station
And he said

You feel like fire
And you burn me alive
But I can take it
Let's not waste this
Please come home tonight

And she danced home that night
And fell into her bed
And he just stood and smiled
At the last thing that she had said
There is more to life than
Trying not to be alone
I'd love you again
You'll always be in my head
But I'm sorry baby I've got to go

And she said
You feel like fire
And you burn me alive
Every time we touch I forget all the reasons why
We can't stay here
And throw away our lives
For crowded rooms and distractions and butterflies

You feel like fire
And you burn me alive
Every time we touch I forget all the reasons why
We can't stay here
And throw away our lives
For crowded rooms and distractions and butterflies
