"Set Me Alight" lyrics
Set me alight
Set me alight
Call me a liar, I've set my heart to self destruct
Call me a sinner, we might as well be twice as fucked
Some say you're better off dead when you've got a dark cloud hanging over your head
And I've never seen the rain, but the cloud's getting closer every day
Set me alight, burn brightly young one
Set me alight, God knows, we need this one
Set me alight, I want to see you light up, like fireworks
Set me alight, love like hell, come undone
Haven't got enough spark to light up your eyes, let alone set the world on fire
Just a kid with a match and a will to watch it all burn, brighter than his heart's desire
Set me alight, burn brightly young one
Set me alight, God knows, we need this one
Set me alight, I want to see you light up, like fireworks
Set me alight
Lived a life with a dormant heart, unaware of the forecast
They said that the rain wouldn't last but many days have passed and the water's rising fast
I've got the devil digging my grave in the backyard
I try not to watch but it's hard when every single hour you fall apart like a work of art in the dark
On your knees in the dirt, then it's back to the start
Haven't got enough spark to light up your eyes, let alone set the world on fire
Just a kid with a match and a will to watch it all burn, brighter than his heart's desire
Like the candle melts, love wanes and lacks, while it doesn't feel, we're not made of wax
Got a heart like a burnt out wick lost between times subtle ticks
Strike a match and we'll watch it burn
Strike a match and we'll watch it burn
Rest assured you'll get your turn, we're starting fires like we'll never learn
Strike a match and we'll watch it burn
Strike a match and we'll watch it burn
Rest assured you'll get your turn, we're starting fires like we'll never learn
Set me alight, burn brightly young one
Set me alight, God knows, we need this one
Set me alight, I want to see you light up, like fireworks
Set me alight
I know that you still carry a flame, but will it light the way on your darkest days?
Set me alight
Call me a liar, I've set my heart to self destruct
Call me a sinner, we might as well be twice as fucked
Some say you're better off dead when you've got a dark cloud hanging over your head
And I've never seen the rain, but the cloud's getting closer every day
Set me alight, burn brightly young one
Set me alight, God knows, we need this one
Set me alight, I want to see you light up, like fireworks
Set me alight, love like hell, come undone
Haven't got enough spark to light up your eyes, let alone set the world on fire
Just a kid with a match and a will to watch it all burn, brighter than his heart's desire
Set me alight, burn brightly young one
Set me alight, God knows, we need this one
Set me alight, I want to see you light up, like fireworks
Set me alight
Lived a life with a dormant heart, unaware of the forecast
They said that the rain wouldn't last but many days have passed and the water's rising fast
I've got the devil digging my grave in the backyard
I try not to watch but it's hard when every single hour you fall apart like a work of art in the dark
On your knees in the dirt, then it's back to the start
Haven't got enough spark to light up your eyes, let alone set the world on fire
Just a kid with a match and a will to watch it all burn, brighter than his heart's desire
Like the candle melts, love wanes and lacks, while it doesn't feel, we're not made of wax
Got a heart like a burnt out wick lost between times subtle ticks
Strike a match and we'll watch it burn
Strike a match and we'll watch it burn
Rest assured you'll get your turn, we're starting fires like we'll never learn
Strike a match and we'll watch it burn
Strike a match and we'll watch it burn
Rest assured you'll get your turn, we're starting fires like we'll never learn
Set me alight, burn brightly young one
Set me alight, God knows, we need this one
Set me alight, I want to see you light up, like fireworks
Set me alight
I know that you still carry a flame, but will it light the way on your darkest days?
