Switchfoot - Burn Out Bright Lyrics

I wanna burn out bright

Does it have to start with a broken heart
Broken dreams and bleeding parts?
We were young and world was clear
Young ambition disappears

I swore it would never come to this
The average, the obvious
I'm still discontented down here
I'm so discontented

If we only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Well, before I die I wanna burn out bright
I wanna burn out bright

So a spark ignites in time and space
To make it through this human race
You fight and crawl your way back home
But you're running the wrong way

The future is a question mark
With kerosene, electric sparks
There's still fire in you yet
Yeah, there's still fire in you

If we only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Well, before I die I wanna burn out bright

I can't clean up the mess I've made
I can't clean up the mess I've made
I can't sleep in the bed I've made
I can't sleep in the bed I've made

If we only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Before I die I wanna burn out

Before I die I wanna burn out
Before I die I wanna burn out
Before I die I wanna burn out bright
If time was never on our side
Before I die I wanna burn out bright
