Burning on the Horizon (Version 2)

Intro

Let the light go dark first

Verse 1 – male vocal

Salt on your lips, salt in my hair

Two thousand waves and nothing to care

You're a burning fire I never knew

I'd sail forever just to see it through

Pre-Chorus – layered harmonies, female and male vocals blending

Tell me this is real, tell me the sea

Is this the start of something we can't break free

Chorus – full band, euphoric build with female lead vocal, huge layered reverb swell

We're burning on the horizon tonight

Two souls out running into the light

Every wave that washes over us is true

This is the fire that was always waiting for you

Verse 2 – male vocal again, close and intimate with a steady piano

Nothing but saltwater and sky above

I never wanted to be this in love

Your hand finds mine on a deck so wide

The sun's going down behind us tonight

Pre-Chorus

Tell me this is real, tell me the sea

Is this the start of something we can't break free

Chorus – full band, euphoric build with female lead vocal, huge layered reverb swell

We're burning on the horizon tonight

Two souls out running into the light

Every wave that washes over us is true

This is the fire that was always waiting for you

Bridge – soft piano and woodwind swells only, male vocal barely above a whisper

Maybe this isn't about escaping at all

Maybe it's just learning how to fall

Chorus – full band, euphoric build with female lead vocal, huge layered reverb swell

We're burning on the horizon tonight

Two souls out running into the light

Every wave that washes over us is true

This is the fire that was always waiting for you

Outro

Into the light

We made it through
