Burn the Boats
I found us on an island
Not very far from here
I found us with our problems
They never disappear
And I said: can we go now
And you said: but, we're alone now
And the general said to me
You gotta trust the open sea
So burn the boats
Let 'em smoke
Let 'em fade away
So you can stay and fight the fight
That you were meant to fight
You gotta burn the boats
Let's go burn the boats
And so we dug our foxholes
And waited through the night
We waited for the cavalry
They never came in sight
And I knew that the prospect
Of forgiveness was evading
So I said: let's go
Let's go burn the boats
So burn the boats
Let 'em smoke
Let 'em fade away
So you can stay and fight the fight
That you were meant to fight
You gotta burn the boats
Let's go burn the boats
I opened up my eyes
And tried to find the strength inside
Can't you do the same
And stop the search for who's to blame
Hey
Hey
So burn the boats
Let 'em smoke
Let 'em fade away
So you can stay and fight the fight
That you were meant to fight
You gotta burn the boats
Let's go burn the boats
So burn the boats
Let 'em smoke
Let 'em fade away
So you can stay and fight the fight
That you were meant to fight
You gotta burn the boats
Let's go burn the boats
Not very far from here
I found us with our problems
They never disappear
And I said: can we go now
And you said: but, we're alone now
And the general said to me
You gotta trust the open sea
So burn the boats
Let 'em smoke
Let 'em fade away
So you can stay and fight the fight
That you were meant to fight
You gotta burn the boats
Let's go burn the boats
And so we dug our foxholes
And waited through the night
We waited for the cavalry
They never came in sight
And I knew that the prospect
Of forgiveness was evading
So I said: let's go
Let's go burn the boats
So burn the boats
Let 'em smoke
Let 'em fade away
So you can stay and fight the fight
That you were meant to fight
You gotta burn the boats
Let's go burn the boats
I opened up my eyes
And tried to find the strength inside
Can't you do the same
And stop the search for who's to blame
Hey
Hey
So burn the boats
Let 'em smoke
Let 'em fade away
So you can stay and fight the fight
That you were meant to fight
You gotta burn the boats
Let's go burn the boats
So burn the boats
Let 'em smoke
Let 'em fade away
So you can stay and fight the fight
That you were meant to fight
You gotta burn the boats
Let's go burn the boats
