Burn Out Bright Songtext
von Switchfoot

I wanna burn out bright

Does it have to start with a broken heart
Broken dreams and bleeding parts?
We were young and the world was clear
Young ambitions disappear
I swore, it would never come to this
The average, the obvious
I′m still discontented down here
I'm still discontented...

If we only got one try
If we′ve only got one life
If time was never on our side
Then before I die
I want to burn out bright
I want to burn out bright


So a spark ignites
In time and space
Limping through this human race
You bite and claw your way back home
But you're running the wrong way
The future is a question mark
Of kerosene and 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
Then before I die, I want to burn out bright

I keep cleaning up the mess I've made
I keep cleaning up the mess I′ve made
I won't run away
I can′t sleep in the bed I've made
I can′t sleep in the bed I've made


If we've only got one try
If we′ve only got one try
If we′ve only got one life
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Time was never on our side
Before I die, I want to burn out
Before I die, I want to burn out
Before I die, I want to burn out
Before I die, I want to burn out bright

If time was never on our side
Then before I die
I want to burn out bright
