Burn This City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stay up all night and sleep all day
We were smart kids with too much to see
And so, so sure that they were missing out
They're the ones who were missing out
We were elemental, took down to bear essentials
Who knew we'd get so far?
'Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops
They said we'd burn so bright
We burn this city and go
Play it again, oh (??)
There is no such thing (no there's never too much)
And we were so, so sure, no we never had a doubt
We're counting down the days to getting out and
We were elemental, took down to bear essentials
Who knew we'd get so far? (Who knew we'd get so far?)
Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops
They said we're wasting our lives
But oh, at least we know that if we die, we lived with passion
They said we'd burn so bright
We burn this city and go
Pack our bags and let's get away
They're catching on to us
So, pack our bags and get away
They're catching on to us
(Bis)
Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops
They said we're wasting our lives
But oh, at least we know that if we die, we lived with passion
They said we'd burn so bright
We burn this city and go
