Sam Beam about the phrase ‘Years to burn’:
– And the title can encapsulate a lot of things. ‘Years to Burn’ could mean you’re cocky, you’ve got it made. Or, our life is ours to burn, to be inspired. Or you’re burned by life, brutalized. It’s an ambiguous title, because life is complicated. Let’s no...
[Verse 1]
A night to believe
To touch on your tongue
A lover to slow you down
To see by the moon
Like robins in rain
And want what the world's holding out
[Chorus]
Years to burn, years to burn
Breezes that die and rise
Years to burn, years to burn
Our tears hold the light in our eyes
[Verse 2]
A night to be born
And another to find
The music across the street
A friend in its arms
Their breath in the cold
Disappears like a snake in the weeds
[Chorus]
Years to burn, years to burn
Breezes that die and rise
Years to burn, years to burn
Our tears hold the light in our eyes
[Outro]
Our tears hold the light in our eyes
