Burn It Out (version 2)

Verse

Ice in the cup is melting fast now

Sun comes up gold on the back door wall

I'm folding up last night's paper towel

Catching up daylight before I fall

Radio's humming something soft

No one else awake to answer phones

Pre-Chorus

So this is the hour when it gets light enough

To see every shadow that wasn't there before

Hold onto nothing, let the static go

This whole sky wants me back for more

Chorus

I'm burning out my windowsill tonight

Every streetlight turns to daylight tonight

Waves of grey and amber turn to blue

That's just dawn breaking through on you

I'm burning out my windowsill tonight

Nothing left but morning light tonight

So let it burn, let it burn

I don't need the dark no more

Verse 2

Coffee's cold, I drink it anyway

Sweat still wet from last night's beat on the floor

Shirt smells like smoke and someone else

Somebody who I'm standing over now, not anymore

Birds start clapping out a louder tune

Every shadow gets washed off my skin tonight

Pre-Chorus

So this is the hour when it gets light enough

To see every shadow that wasn't there before

Hold onto nothing, let the static go

This whole sky wants me back for more

Chorus

I'm burning out my windowsill tonight

Every streetlight turns to daylight tonight

Waves of grey and amber turn to blue

That's just dawn breaking through on you

I'm burning out my windowsill tonight

Nothing left but morning light tonight

So let it burn, let it burn

I don't need the dark no more

Bridge

No clock tower here to tell me when

Just the hum that comes from every breath I take in

Maybe some things you gotta leave behind

To know exactly where you're headed in your mind

Chorus

I'm burning out my windowsill tonight

Every streetlight turns to daylight tonight

Waves of grey and amber turn to blue

That's just dawn breaking through on you

I'm burning out my windowsill tonight

Nothing left but morning light tonight

So let it burn, let it burn

I don't need the dark no more
