How did we get here? All castaway on a lonely shore I can see in your eyes, dear It's hard to take for 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 you look back Don't let it arrest you This fear is fear of fallin' 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 you 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 wave disappear We're comin' clear 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 you look back
