Ride the Wave

Verse

Gasoline on the letters I wrote you

Matchstick sparks where the porch light used to glow

Twenty-three candles melted down to nothing

Watch the wax hit the floor and let it go

Pre-Chorus

I've been carrying the ashes in my pockets

Time to empty out and let the wind decide

Chorus

Burn it down, burn it down

Watch the embers hit the ground

We're the phoenix, we're the spark

Rising bright out of the dark

Burn it down, start again

Every ending is a friend

Ride the wave, ride the wave

Into whatever comes today

Verse

Boxes full of everything I used to be

Cardboard walls collapsing in the yard

Six years folded into one last bonfire

Smoke signals rising, burning every card

Pre-Chorus

I've been carrying the ashes in my pockets

Time to empty out and let the wind decide

Chorus

Burn it down, burn it down

Watch the embers hit the ground

We're the phoenix, we're the spark

Rising bright out of the dark

Burn it down, start again

Every ending is a friend

Ride the wave, ride the wave

Into whatever comes today

Bridge

Maybe I was never meant to keep it

All the pieces that I swore I'd never lose

Maybe breaking is the only way to build it

Something new, something true

Chorus

Burn it down, burn it down

Watch the embers hit the ground

We're the phoenix, we're the spark

Rising bright out of the dark

Burn it down, start again

Every ending is a friend

Burn it down, burn it down

Nothing left but higher ground

Ride the wave, ride the wave

Into whatever comes today

Ride the wave, ride the wave

We're still here and we're okay
