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.

How did we get here

All cast away on a lonely shore

I can see in your eyes dear

It's hard to take for a moment more

We've got to

Burn the ships, cut the ties

Send the flame into the night

Say your prayer, turn the tide

Dry your tears and wave goodbye

Step into a new day

We can rise up from the dust and walk away

We can dance upon the heartache

So light a match, leave the past

Burn the ships and don't you look back

Don't let it arrest you, this fear

This fear of falling again

And if you need a refuge

I'll be right here until the end

(Oh it's time to)

Burn the ships, cut the ties

Send the flame into the night

Say your prayer, turn the tide

Dry your tears and wave goodbye

Step into a new day

We can rise up from the dust and walk away

We can dance upon the heartache

So light a match, leave the past

Burn the ships and don't you look back

So long to shame walk through the sorrow

Out of the fire into tomorrow

So flush the pills, face your fear

Feel the weight disappear

We're coming clean, we're born again

Our hopeful lungs can breathe again

Oh, we can breathe again

And step into a new day

We can rise up from the dust and walk away

We can dance upon the heartache

So light a match, leave the past

Burn the ships and don't you look back

(Don't you look back, don't you look back)
