lyrics

Verse 1

As the kids by the water see the smoke in the air,
and the look of contentment you wear as you stare,
you’ll hear them whisper behind you,
wondering, why is she there?
And they’ll freeze as you turn to them,
telling them, “what’s fair is fair.”

Chorus

Burn it down to the ground,
burn all you can see.
Burn it down to the ground,
every memory of me.
And when the embers die down,
you've gotta be swift on your feet,
to gather my ashes and send them to sea.

Verse 2

Let the kites in the sky be your view from the mirrors,
as you're driving away, down the coast by the pier.
And while you're fixing your makeup,
using your knees to steer,
dont let the cinge on your eyelash cause you to fear.

Chorus
Burn it down to the ground,
burn all you can see.
Burn it down to the ground,
every memory of me.
And when the embers die down,
you've gotta be swift on your feet,
to gather my ashes and send them to sea.

Bridge

Wooah (repeated to end)
