Burn It Down

Would it be alright

If I leave a little early?

I don't want to let you down

I'm just off tonight

With my heart on fire

And your name lingering on the tip of my tongue

Sometimes the faces of the dead

Seem to be the only friends that stay around

And the warmth inside my bed

Is siphoning away like a fleeting memory of you

We'll sing it out to burn it down

And let it die tonight

And I think we might just be alright

We'll sing it out to burn it down

And let it die tonight

And I think I might just be alright, alright

Would it be alright

If you looked me in the eyes

As you tear me apart

I don't want to fight

But these chemicals

Always seem to have the right of way, anyway

Sometimes it gets inside my head

Like a whisper on a flame

I could just disappear

But your smile across the room

So trivial, so simple

And it keeps me grounded here

We'll sing it out to burn it down

And let it die tonight

And I think we might just be alright

We'll sing it out to burn it down

And let it die tonight

And I think I might just be alright, alright

We'll sing it out to burn it down

And let it die tonight

And I think we might just be alright

We'll sing it out to burn it down

And let it die tonight

And I think I might just be alright, alright
