[Verse 1]
Take me back a thousand years
Grasping to live on the verge of tears
And I, I don't wanna live this life
Change my name just to fit it right
Lockin' your doors at the verge of night
And I, I don't live this life

[Chorus]
I'll awake to see you crawlin' on the floor to the burnin' lights
I never thought that you would lead that life
Burnin' up, burnin' up now, ah-oh

[Verse 2]
Touching down at the break of dawn
Back in, back in, back in the town
I was raised in, as a matter of fact
How come I've never seen your face 'round here?
I know every single face 'round here
This has been thе longest year

[Chorus]
I'll awake to see you crawlin' on thе floor to the burnin' lights
I never thought that you would lead that life
Burnin' up, burnin' up now, ah-oh
[Bridge]
I'll wait a year up in a case, I come up through the outside
To you, to you

[Chorus]
I'll awake to see you crawlin' on the floor to the burnin' lights
I never thought that you would lead that life
Burnin' up, burnin' up now, ah-oh
I'll awake to see you crawlin' on the floor to the burnin' lights
I never thought that you would lead that life
Burnin' up, burnin' up now, ah-oh
