[Verse 1]
You said we could take a break because it's moving too fast
I said I can hardly wait to see how long it can last
You said you could not imagine all the pain that I've seen
I said you don't understand the way you're haunting my dreams

[Chorus]
I can take a tumble to the side of the road
Give you all the precious time you need to explode
Make it through the fire
I can make my way home
Don't you leave your light on

[Chorus]
I can burn alone
I can burn alone
I can burn alone

[Verse 2]
Every working Jesus had the cross to bear
'Til he gets to heaven he ain't going nowhere
Just like every steady steed has got a whip on its back
But there's nothing waiting for him at the end of the track

[Chorus]
I can take a tumble to the side of the road
Give you all the precious time you need to explode
If you make it through the fire
I can make my way home
Don't you leave your light on
[Chorus]
I can burn alone
I can burn alone

[Bridge]
Can we keep it light
After such a night
Crawling through the great unknown
After what's been said
Baby in my head
I can feel it in my bones

[Outro]
I can burn alone
I can burn alone
I can burn alone
I can burn alone
