You turn the heat up, but it's slow
Love’s like dough, but does it grow?
You take a peek, but don’t let it burn
I’m rising up, but will it turn?
Out of the oven, thought it’d be gold
But sometimes it’s bitter, sometimes cold
Maybe it’s not as perfect as planned
But love ain’t something you just understand
It’s messy, it cracks, and sometimes fails
But you and I, we ride these rails
We take it raw, we take it burned
Out of the oven, but lessons learned
Edges crisp, but soft inside
A little flawed, but still your pride
It’s not sweet, not the perfect bite
But there’s something real in every fight
It’s messy, it cracks, and sometimes fails
But you and I, we ride these rails
We take it raw, we take it burned
Out of the oven, but lessons learned
Out of the oven, thought it’d be gold
But sometimes it’s bitter, sometimes cold
Maybe it’s not as perfect as planned
But love ain’t something you just understand
