lyrics

Why'd you set my head on fire?
I was safe and calm living my life
Why'd you set my head on fire?
All the noise distracted me just fine
I don't mind the volume loud
The only way I know how to get by
Is to live life in a cloud
Fill my head with petty matters

So finish what you started
Burn away the static in me
I'm waiting

Glad you set my head on fire
I created perpetual sunshine
Glad you set my head on fire
I wore a disguise of sugary smiles
I was such a clever liar
But there is beauty where the plainest truth resides
And now I've got my head on fire
Fill my life with all that matters

So finish what you started
Burn away the static in me
I'm waiting

So leave me with just the truth

I'm ready to take the leap
I'm ready to fall
And I'm ready to see
What this means after all

So finish what you started
Burn away the static in me
I'm waiting

So lead me
I'm waiting
Finish what you started
Burn away the static in me
I'm waiting

Glad you set my head on fire
Cuz I've been living so long without you
