What are the lyrics to Burn out Bright by Switchfoot?

(Verse 1)

From dusk till dawn we fought this war

In darkened rooms, behind locked doors

Like restless minds, we never slept

Our hearts beating like muffled drums

(Pre-Chorus)

But all the while, a fire burned inside

A flicker in the night, hard to deny

(Chorus)

We said we'd burn out bright

Illuminate the darkest night

With all the light we made, with every sacrifice we paid

(Verse 2)

We danced with time, we scaled the heights

With dreams of glory in our sights

But through it all, we never strayed

From the flames that kept us burning on

(Pre-Chorus)

And all the while, a fire burned inside

A flicker in the night, hard to deny

(Chorus)

We said we'd burn out bright

Illuminate the darkest night

With all the light we made, with every sacrifice we paid

(Bridge)

So let us rise, above the fray

With hearts ablaze, we'll find our way

Through every trial, every test

Our spirits unbroken, in this quest

(Chorus)

We said we'd burn out bright

Illuminate the darkest night

With all the light we made, with every sacrifice we paid
