It's not a silly little moment,
It's not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on.
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody's gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.
We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.
I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.
I'll make the most of all the sadness,
You'll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.
We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.
Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room.

Review about Slow Dancing In A Burning Room beautiful pain. | Reviewer: ruu 3 | 9/21/09
this song is brilliant.... it gives the prefect picture of when a guy and a girl know things are gonna end.... and are trying to say their last goodbyes and take their last bow together.... its hell; but their slow dancing.. making the most of the time they have left... they know they're "goin down" but they're taking it peacefullly, like a slow death... it hurts so much to hear this song... after a year and a half he cheats on me and leaves me... we kind of had a moment like this..
John Mayer is a true artist. His album continuum is probably my favourite cd of ALL TIME. Every song is just amazing. Simply put- John Mayer is one of the geniuses of our time in the music industry. He has developed into one incredible musician, song-writer, guitarist, AH. He is just incredible. I cannot wait for his next CD. GO JM.
I'm sold | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/13/08
I have to admit I was "hating" on John Mayer no reason ,just thought he was,a dork or something,
I am humbled! I have been playing on a pro level for years, and he is the real deal! When he come fully into his maturity(like this song is indicating)he will be unstopable! He is a mean guitar player and /a dope songwriter~ I'm not giving him "PRINCE" status yet but he is on his way! Put it this way he's not banging Jennifer Anistion for no reason ! lol!
genius | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/29/08
This song is pure genius! its the first song i heard off of the continuum album and i fell in love with it. i had gotten out of a relationship that ended out of no where.. no explanation.. nothing but i thought i was ok and then i heard this song and i realized i wasnt. nowhere near ok. but this song helped me realize that it was something that was probably meant to end sooner or later. i think thats what the line "slow dancing in a burning room" means. eventually its gonna end. i sing this song probably everyday! i'll never get tired of it!
it ends before you know it... | Reviewer: Mallorie | 11/1/08
this song seems perfect to describe my last relationship and how love starts to fall apart.. ya tried to save it, but you only hurt eachother more, the damage done becomes a gaping wound. he wanted what i couldn't give. no one has ever been good enough for him.. and he can't recieve what he so badly wants, cause he himself is not willing to give it, or love himself.. he wants to be loved so badly.. but he can't truely hand himself over to anyone...
Speechless | Reviewer: Brittany | 8/8/08
I never really was a huge John Mayer fan...I mean I liked him somewhat...but after hearing this song & seeing the dance to it on so you think you can dance, the song is just brilliant.I love it & can finally completely relate to a song...

I never really was a hugee John Mayer fan..I mean I like him of course but after listening to this song which is brilliant I love him...I can relate to the song finally a song I can completely relate to.
perfect. | Reviewer: kate | 2/8/08
I absolutely love this song, and think it's pure, perfect poetry.. it's so rare for me that a songwriter gets it exactly right, usually everything fits except one little lyric or piece, but this is me EXACTLY. It's so hard to let go when you're so much in love, but sometimes it's the right thing to do and you both know it. but it's so hard.. i'm hooked on this and "dreaming with a broken heart", he's just absolutely amazing.
i absolutly love this song, along with all the rest of John's previous work. even though this dosent really realate to my situation, i feel like i can understand and realate to someone who's in this situation....it's kind of hard to explain. even though i've never felt this, i can still realate to how someone might feel, just by listening ot this song. all of johns songs send a message. i feel that his songs are pure poetry.
The moment I heard this song after I bought the Cd it became my favorite. I like to explain it as being painfully beautiful. The sound and lyrics to this song are amazing. I played it for days on end. I've been a fan of his from the start and at this rate I'll never stop.
