Burn One Down - Ben Harper

I guess you're off to have your fun Another ending just begun And I know what I don't see Really should'nt bother me So go and have yourself a ball You'll be at no one's beck and call With that fire in your eyes Another lover's moon will rise Someone else will take the fall And that's just the way you are And I've known all along Some candles always burn Even when the night is gone But the strongest of flames They won't burn eternally So when you find another friend Who'll light your candle up again You can burn one down for me So you don't matter anymore I'll convince myself, I'm sure As if I give a damn Oh, that's just the way I am So go on and pour yourself some wine Who'll ever spend your time 'Cause anyone can see You won't be crying over me And you never were that kind Lord, that's just the way you are And I've known all along Some candles always burn Even when the night is gone But the strongest of flames They won't burn eternally So when you find another friend Who'll light your candle up again You can burn one down for me Mmm, mmm Ahh, ahh Mmm, mmm The strongest of flames They won't burn eternally So when you find another friend Who'll light your candle up again You can burn one down for me They won't find another candle Light your candle up again You can burn one down for me

We can walk right out the door Cloud our legacy forever We fight back with questions in our hearts (Always the first the place the blame) Never once accepted the shame The past is drowning us all (Drowning us all) We're hating We're lying On us they are relying Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave We're falling We're climbing Is us we are defining Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave We can put this all behind us Face the enemy together Build it back with anger in our hearts (We're living in a time) Where giving up Is glorified Our ordinary story Justifies the drive (Justifies the drive in us all) We're hating We're lying On us they are relying Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave We're falling We're climbing Is us we are defining Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave Your telling me the same ol story Let's burn this to the ground Burn it to the ground We're hating We're lying On us they are relying Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave We're falling We're climbing Is us we are defining Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave The past is drowning me Tear apart the lies we've been deceived (Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave) The past is drowning me (Digging ourselves out or digging our own grave)

What I've got I don't want All it does is hover and taunt Reminding me what I used to be What I may never be again Turns out what I'm good at doin Is making something out of the ruin Borrow this wasted space that could never be replaced Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal. If my wheels were square, but the earth was jagged I rode along, it'd be no less ragged And seems to be the day I'm usually this way Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal. I wish every harder day only took an hour And I'm not just like the people I resent I wish someday I could truly be a power Say exactly what it is I meant All I have that's in abundance Is my perpetual redundance It's hard for me to say, I face it everyday Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal.

Won me in a poker game Lost me in a bet Then you got the nerve To turn around and get upset Movin' on Movin' on You practice law without a license Psychology too But your PHD is in giving me the blues Movin' on Movin' on Go to third world countries Kicking three-legged dogs And by three PM You're living high on the hog Held out for so long Movin' on You may have learned to hustle But you never learned to dance When you fight the law You don't get a second chance I may be right I may be wrong Movin' on You get away with murder You got a way with words Speaking in a language That nobody's ever heard Just singin' that same old song Movin' on Ten reasons to stay here Eleven to leave Not waiting around For you to give me a reprieve No more stringing this along Movin' on
