[Verse 1]
Please say you'll come along tonight
Please sing the words we love
Don't say that you forgot them
Don't keep the hand we've come to hold
I know you want to untie this rope and let it go

[Verse 2]
Please pose my skeletal remains
Give them a working pen
And I will live forever
Please let them love me though I fade

[Refrain]
I know you want to
I know you want to
I know you want to run away

[Chorus]
We're burning our own tonight
We're single spies when sorrows come
They come on battalions
We're burning our own tonight
A little light to keep it on
Our own battalion
[Verse 3]
Please keep these sounds from running out
Please let our steps fall soft
Keep them from hearing our tongue
Please let some hope come with the day

[Refrain]
I know you want to
I know you want to
I know you want to run away

[Chorus]
We're burning our own tonight
We're single spies when sorrows come
They come on battalions
We're burning our own tonight
A little light to keep it on
Our own battalion

[Refrain]
I know you want to
I know you want to
I know you want to run away

[Verse 4]
And so we watch the time we keep
And you know that I am swift
You know that I am quick
You know that I am fast asleep
[Chorus]
We're burning our own tonight
We're single spies when sorrows come
They come on battalions
We're burning our own tonight
A little light to keep it on
Our own battalion

[Refrain]
I know you want to
I know you want to
I know you want to run away
