Fortune Cookie #7--Burn Out Bright

Does it have to start with a broken heart
Broken dreams and bleeding parts
We were young and world was clear
Young ambition , it disappears
I swore it would never come to this
The average, the obvious

I'm still discontented down here
I'm so discontented

If we've only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Well, before I die I want to burn out bright!

So a spark ignites
In time and space
To make it through this human race
You fight and crawl your way back home
But you're running the wrong way

The future is a question mark
With kerosene electric sparks
There's still fire in you yet
Yeah there's still fire in you

If we've only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Well, before I die I want to burn out bright!

I can't clean up the mess I've made
I can't clean up the mess I've made

I won't run away!

Can't sleep in the bed I've made
I can't sleep in the bed I've made

If we only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Well, before I die I want to burn out bright!

If time was never on our side
Well, before I die I want to burn out bright!

Burn Out Bright

Oh! Gravity

I think Switchfoot songs almost always some it up just right.
