bridges ablaze, we’ll all catch fire,
too late to turn back now
just paint the sky with all our ashes,
and stain each passing cloud

screaming with our fractured lungs,
midnight tears us heart from heart
we discovered we were far too young,
and couldn’t choose our favorite part

keep this a secret as long as you live,
no matter what the world’s willing to give

bridges ablaze, we’ll all catch fire,
too late to turn back now
just paint the sky with all our ashes,
and stain each passing cloud

bleeding from our broken veins,
sunlight tears us heart from heart
we learned to accept all our pain,
and tried to choose our favorite part

keep this a secret as long as you can,
even if you don’t quite understand

bridges ablaze, we’ll all catch fire,
too late to turn back now
just paint the sky with all our ashes,
and stain each passing cloud

better safe than sorry, better late than never,
and we’ll go on living this way forever
