Burn It Down Tonight (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Six a.m. and the kitchen's still lit

Pineapple upside down cake on my lap

The fire crackles soft on the porch swing tonight

Your boots kicked off beside me, we're not leaving this place yet

I said 'what time is it?' you just raised an eyebrow

So I turn up the record and we don't need to know

Pre-Chorus

We ain't got a thing to prove at three-oh-one

Just the porch light flickering out like our own rhythm's on

Something in me wants to keep this summer alive

Like if we hold it tight it'll never say goodbye

Chorus

Burn it down tonight, let the spark stay bright

Keep dancing till the streetlights turn gold then blinding white

We ain't saving nothin' for another day

Just burn it all down before it gets cold again

Windows down in my dad's old truck at sunrise

This is ours before we're grown up or wise

Verse 2

Cracked mirror above the bathroom sink

Water rings and a bottle cap necklace still clinking

Your guitar leaned against the porch rail hummin' low

Said 'this whole summer's just one long Saturday night

I pulled out my old wallet, the picture of us kids

Chasing fireflies by the pond where our shadows mixed

Now I'm thirty-three and the album's got dust on it

But still every August light turns into that same itch

Pre-Chorus

We ain't got a thing to prove at three-oh-one

Just the porch light flickering out like our own rhythm's on

Something in me wants to keep this summer alive

Like if we hold it tight it'll never say goodbye

Chorus

Burn it down tonight, let the spark stay bright

Keep dancing till the streetlights turn gold then blinding white

We ain't saving nothin' for another day

Just burn it all down before it gets cold again

Windows down in my dad's old truck at sunrise

This is ours before we're grown up or wise

Bridge

I know someday I'll be sitting on this porch alone

Watching stars that don't belong to me, watching summer go back home

But right now the radio cuts off and the engine dies

So here it comes – one last kiss before the headlights hit the sky

Chorus

Burn it down tonight, let the spark stay bright

Keep dancing till the streetlights turn gold then blinding white

We ain't saving nothin' for another day

Just burn it all down before it gets cold again

Windows down in my dad's old truck at sunrise

This is ours before we're grown up or wise
