about

I wrote this with my good friend, artist Craig Lyons. We were talking about human potential and how we wished we could get away with stuff like when we were kids. Everyone needs to pull a caper every once in a while. Breaking the rules helps you remember who you are!

lyrics

Splashing through the rainbows
in gasoline (oh-oh)
Zippo click I hope I
Never hit nineteen (oh-oh)

Don't ya feel it burning when you close your eyes
Don't you think it's time we sparkle and ...shine

Chorus:
In younger days we set fire
To summer fields under open skies
The smoke rose lazy
as you smiled

Promises and sunburned skin
Threw our hearts to the devil wind
Subtle magic set us alight
We sparkle We shine

Photos in a closet shoebox
It's for the best
Fading flowers pressed in storybooks
Laid to rest

Don't ya feel it burning when you close your eyes
Don't you think it's time we sparkle and ...shine

CHORUS:

Burn the maps
And don't look back
Burn the past away

Half verse: (breakdown)
When I said I'd stay I didn't mean
I'd stay the same

CHORUS:
In younger days oooohhhhh
Set us alight set us alight
And smile that crazy smile for me

Promises and sunburned skin
Threw our hearts to the devil wind
Subtle magic set alight
We sparkle and we shine
