Burn The Boats
This ship will never burn
You said the sea between us
Ain't flammable
But that's the point of no return
I said the heart beats
Untameable
Then your 600 conquistadors
That 16 th Andalusian horse
Every pass through the past that means
Every pass through the past
These bottomless Coronas
And Cortés margaritas
The boss and his killer bees
Will be the death of me
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Set me free
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Make me believe
I sang for you in Spanish
Stole words from your trenches
Loved you infinitely
Cross my heart I promise
If you must play with matches
I swear, I swear you'll never leave
Then your 16 th century holy wars
And 19 other paramours
And all that's lost in the loss that means
All that's lost in the loss
These blue agave treasures
And final desperate measures
Calaveras and Joshua trees
Will be the end of me
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Set me free
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Make me believe
I cannot be the interpreter
Of the chemical fire that you were
Every pass through the past that means
Every pass through the past
93 cold Coronas
These deadly countermeasures
The calacas and tequila bees
Will make a ghost of me
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
I still believe
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Finally free
You said the sea between us
Ain't flammable
But that's the point of no return
I said the heart beats
Untameable
Then your 600 conquistadors
That 16 th Andalusian horse
Every pass through the past that means
Every pass through the past
These bottomless Coronas
And Cortés margaritas
The boss and his killer bees
Will be the death of me
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Set me free
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Make me believe
I sang for you in Spanish
Stole words from your trenches
Loved you infinitely
Cross my heart I promise
If you must play with matches
I swear, I swear you'll never leave
Then your 16 th century holy wars
And 19 other paramours
And all that's lost in the loss that means
All that's lost in the loss
These blue agave treasures
And final desperate measures
Calaveras and Joshua trees
Will be the end of me
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Set me free
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Make me believe
I cannot be the interpreter
Of the chemical fire that you were
Every pass through the past that means
Every pass through the past
93 cold Coronas
These deadly countermeasures
The calacas and tequila bees
Will make a ghost of me
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
I still believe
Burn the boats
Raise the siege
The sun and the sea
Finally free
