lyrics

It was raining in the night
Caught up in the disco lights
In this moment won’t you be the sunrise
Open up my eyes
Until the morning light
I got you in my sights
Now the time is right
Burning both ends, let’s ignite

Am I burning both ends?
Is the smoke playing tricks on me?
Am I running out of room to breathe?
And did I trip when I lost my way?
Feels like I got nothing left to say

I think it’s killing me
From my feet up now
I think it’s turning me
Around and inside out
Is it a sign or a sound
To drown me out
Sicken me with dreams and doubt

I think it’s time to quit pretending
Think I’m spinning out again
Spending midnights burning both ends
Is it life or consequence?

God plays us the fool
When hands of change come take their toll
Is this all I was waiting for
Is it innocence or ignorance that you take me for?

I think it’s killing me
From my feet up now
I think it’s turning me
Around and inside out
Is it a sign or a sound
To drown me out
Sicken me with dreams and doubt

Am I just falling up to meet you
The candles melt away

Am I burning both ends?
Is the smoke playing tricks on me?
Am I running out of room to breathe?
And did I trip when I lost my way?
Feels like I got nothing left to say

I think it’s time to quit pretending
Think I’m spinning out again
Spending midnights burning both ends
Is it life or consequence?
