Lyrics

How did we get here
We’re castaway
On a lonely shore

I can see in your eyes dear
That you can’t take
A moment more
We’ve got to

Burn the ships
Cut the ties
Send a flare
Into the night

Say a prayer
Turn the tide
Dry your tears
And wave goodbye

Step into a new day
We can rise up from the dust and walk away
We can dance upon the heartache, yeah
So light a match
Leave the past
Burn the ships And don’t ya look back

Don’t let it arrest you
This fear, this fear of falling again

And if you need a refuge
I will be right here, until the end
Oh, it’s time to

Burn the ships
Cut the ties
Send a flare
Into the night

Say a prayer
Turn the tide
Dry your tears
And wave goodbye

Step into a new day
We can rise up from the dust and walk away
We can dance upon the heartache, yeah
So light a match
Leave the past
Burn the ships
And don’t ya look back

So long to shame
Walk through the sorrow
Out of the fire
Into tomorrow

So, flush the pills
Face the fear
Feel the weight
Disappear

We’re coming clean
We’re born again
Our hopeful lungs
Can breathe again
Oh we can breathe again

Step into a new day
We can rise up from
the dust and walk away
We can dance upon the heartache, yeah
So light a match
Leave the past
Burn the ships

Step into a new day
We can rise up from the dust and walk away
We can dance upon the heartache, yeah
So light a match
Leave the past
Burn the ships
And don’t ya look back
And don’t ya look back
And don’t ya look back
