I was born and I died
And just a moment went by.
I was a son and a brother
I stand out over the water
Waves crashed on the shore
This is the day that I was born
I burn on, I burn on
Autumn cold beneath my feet
I burn on, I burn on
Walked through the city while it sleeps
I burn on, I burn on
This is the day that I was born.
Caught snow flakes on my tongue
I thought I knew what love was
A thousand push pins in a map
Only to prove I could exist
Don't hold on too hard
To the way that everything was
I burn on, I burn on
Endless summer in my heart
I burn on, I burn on
I'm not afraid to fall apart
I burn on, I burn on
This is the day that I was born
And my eyes are fading
Half lives filled on hand written pages
She's already sleeping.
I'll just lay here and listen to her breathing.
Oh
Autumn cold beneath my fee
Oh
Endless summer in my heart
Oh
This is the day that I was born
I was born and I died
And just a moment went by.
