Lyrics
As the morning sun seeps in through a crack in the blinds
Describing the morning with sunlight entering through the blinds.
We open up our eyes
The start of the day, waking up.
Let's get off this queen-sized bed
Expressing a desire to leave the bed associated with pain and sadness.
Where far too many tears have been shed
Noting the emotional weight of past tears in the bed.
And dreams were left for dead
Reflecting on abandoned dreams and disappointments.
It's such a glorious day
Commenting on the beauty of the day.
So come what may
Embracing whatever comes, suggesting a positive attitude.
You and I, we're off to see the world
Embarking on a journey to explore the world together.
We'll put on our best clothes
Preparing for the journey by dressing well.
Bring only what we need
Traveling light, taking only essential belongings.
Douse the walls with kerosene
Symbolizing a radical change by using kerosene.
Drop a match from the mezzanine
Igniting a fire to destroy the old and make way for the new.
Get into the car
Moving forward by getting into the car.
We'll watch it from afar
Observing the transformation from a distance.
As the flames kiss the sky
Describing the visual impact of the fire.
There's only you and I
Emphasizing the unity of the couple amidst chaos.
Let it burn to the ground
Accepting the destruction as a necessary part of leaving.
Cause we're not hanging 'round
Expressing a determination to move forward without hesitation.
It's the day you and I are leaving town
Highlighting the specific day of departure.
Let it burn, let it burn
Reiterating the acceptance of burning and departure.
Cause today you and I are leaving town
Affirming the significance of the day for leaving.
It's the day we're leaving town
Stating that it's the day they are departing.
It's the day we're leaving it all behind
Underlining the abandonment of everything in the past.
You and I
Emphasizing the joint decision of departure.
