Burn Out Bright - Switchfoot

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

Before I die I want to 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

Before I die I want to burn out bright

I can’t clean up the mess I’ve made

I can’t clean up the mess I’ve made

Can’t sleep in the bed I’ve made

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 want to burn out bright
