If I could burn the world
And write it all anew
It would be so much worse
'Cause it wouldn't have you
'Cause I can't write you right
Like I can't right these wrongs
No song I sing tonight
Can make you sing along
But the voices in my head
Challenged me to duel
A battle with my wits
And maybe the golden rule
'Cause I can't do for you
What I want for me
If what I say is true
It's still not what I mean
I can look from the ocean
And see your work in the sand
I can follow your footsteps
And still not know where you stand
‘Cause I can’t undertake
To dig this shallow grave
To walk along the wake
But never catch the wave
And you’re so far away
I would reach out if I could
If I could burn the world
I would, I would
