Burning Daylight Lyrics by Not Now

Suburbia

2019

[Verse 1]
Hear the sound of your music ringing
Set a fire to the parking lot
Hold off until the weekend
It's twelve o'clock and I'm feeling lost
Drive down an open freeway
Watch the fire until it's gone
Tomorrow seems so far away
But next thing you know it's gone
[Pre-Chorus]
These Friday nights haven't been the same since
I'm lost in thought on a twin-sized mattress
Don't leave me standing in these old pretences
Nothing's ever really gonna make sense
Blurry nights and faces grinning
This could be the end, or a beginning
Lonely road getting lost on the way
Now I'm looking for the words to say
[Chorus]
Now while our lives are strange
I want you to know that you can here with me
(She said we're burning daylight)
Through the nights and the endless dreams
Because nothing's ever what it seems to be
(She said we're burning daylight)
[Verse 2]
Hear the sound of your heartbeat racing
As the last clock's rung and done
Holding onto that vacant feeling
You're never ready when the past is gone
Trying hard just to get away from
Expectations that you know are wrong
Tomorrow seemed so far away but
Now it's come and gone
[Pre-Chorus]
These Friday nights haven't been the same since
I'm lost in thought on a twin-sized mattress
Don't leave me standing in these old pretences
Nothing's ever really gonna make sense
Blurry nights and faces grinning
This could be the end, or a beginning
Lonely road getting lost on the way
Now I'm looking for the words to say
[Chorus]
Now while our lives are strange
I want you to know that you can here with me
(She said we're burning daylight)
Through the nights and the endless dreams
Because nothing's ever what it seems to be
(She said we're burning daylight)
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Now while our lives are strange
I want you to know that you can be here with me
(She said we're burning daylight)
Through the nights and forgotten dreams
Because nothing's ever what it seems to be
(She said we're burning daylight)
