Currents

Burn as brightly as we can

And if it's got to end then let it end in flames
Then I hope it ends where it began
All the way down
(Let it burn)
So hot with love, it burns our hands
Burn as brightly as we can
Let it burn all the way down
If it is born in flames then we should let it burn
So hot with love, we burned our hands
If it’s got to end
If it’s got to end

A long drag becomes a slow dance in a halo of ember
And if it’s got to end then let it end in flames
It ends where it began
Let it burn all the way down

(Let it burn)
If this is ever meant to end

And I watch as it pirouettes and spins in slow motion
And if it’s got to end then let it end in flames
Let it burn
As your face is framed in its slow currents, drifting curls
The air is visceral around us
Turning in its simple steps on slow currents
A trailin' path, a long draft becomes a tress of blue ash
If it is born in flames then we should let it burn

And if this is ever meant to end
(Let it burn)
Then I hope it ends where it began
Burn as brightly as we can
If it is born in flames then we should let it burn
