They said the storm would take us all
But I was already gone
Breath caught in my chest, hands gripping the wheel
I swore I’d never run, but this time—
I will


Wasn’t looking for a way out
’Til I saw the door wide open
Wasn’t supposed to be more than a whisper
But the wind screamed your name
(The wind screamed your name)

Lightning hit, the sky split
And I knew I’d never be the same


We burned it down
With the rain pouring on our backs
They called it destruction—but I would call it fate

Hurricane winds, screaming, go, go, go


Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down now
Smoke in my lungs, no way back now
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down slow
Rain can’t touch what the flames already know


Left a life behind, left a name I don’t say no more
Didn’t mean to break it all—
but some bridges burn on their own
I can’t be sorry for choosing what felt like breathing
(What felt like home)


Put it all on nine—let the gods decide
(Let the gods decide)
Every number hit—the world tipping its hat
(The world tipping its hat)
Won a thousand that night—won my life back
(Won my life back)


Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down now
Smoke in my lungs, no way back now
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down slow
Rain can’t touch what the flames already know


We burned it down
Didn’t know where we were headed—
Just knew we couldn’t stay
The rain tried to drown us—
But we drove all the way
No more waiting, no more chains—
we’re already gone
(we’re already gone)
we’re already gone
(we’re already gone)

The rain stopped,
But I still hear it in my bones
Not sure where this road leads—
but at least it’s not back home
We burned it down—
(We burned it down—)
We burned it down—
(We burned it down—)
And somehow,
We survived
