Burn Before We Land (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Old house leaning on the riverbank

Porch light flickers where we used to talk

Your boots by the screen door step still

Mine gone quiet somewhere else now

Radio static, one station left

Counting highway signs like I'm counting breath

Engine hums a rhythm all its own

Saying goodbye slow so it don't hurt alone

Pre-Chorus

So what's the fire gonna do tonight

Is it going to chase the dark or let it shine

Every heartbeat saying this is right

This is how we learn to say goodbye

Chorus

We burn before we land

Light up every mile like a wildfire in our hands

Dust and diesel, the whole wide road

We burn before we land

Nothing broken, just brand new

This engine's got a fire that I choose

So watch it climb, so watch me rise

Before we touch this foreign sky

Verse

Your jacket left on the passenger seat

Still smells like summertime and gasoline

I'm not running from what I lost

I'm running to find what my own horizon cost

Every mile marker's a page turned slow

Every headlight blinking red and gold

Someday you'll look up, see this glow

And you'll know I never said goodbye — just go

Pre-Chorus

So what's the fire gonna do tonight

Is it going to chase the dark or let it shine

Every heartbeat saying this is right

This is how we learn to say goodbye

Chorus

We burn before we land

Light up every mile like a wildfire in our hands

Dust and diesel, the whole wide road

We burn before we land

Nothing broken, just brand new

This engine's got a fire that I choose

So watch it climb, so watch me rise

Before we touch this foreign sky

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow'll be hard to find

But tonight the headlights paint the ground in gold and red

Every ending's a door left open wide

And I'm choosing which one I want inside

Chorus

We burn before we land

Light up every mile like a wildfire in our hands

Dust and diesel, the whole wide road

We burn before we land

Nothing broken, just brand new

This engine's got a fire that I choose

So watch it climb, so watch me rise

Before we touch this foreign sky
