Lyrics

Sunburn Surrender

[Intro]

You set me, set me, set me on fire

[Verse 1]

You're my vision

Looking to the west I see the daylight

Watch it come to rest in, in the moonrise

I turn to your eyes pretender

My sunburn surrender

[Chorus]

You set me, set me on fire

You set me, set me on fire

Pretender my sunburn surrender

You set me, set me on fire

You set me, set me on fire

Pretender my sunburn surrender

[Verse 2]

In my city, moving through the mess, I try to stay light

Float above the stress, but when I'm not high

You are my upside, you send me

The brightest of memories

I'm not dreaming, that's your silhouette

This moment, fleeting

I'll never forget, I need your fixing

You are eclipsing, pretender

My sunburn surrender

[Chorus]

You set me, set me on fire

You set me, set me on fire

Pretender my sunburn surrender

You set me, set me on fire

You set me, set me on fire

Pretender my sunburn surrender

[Outro]

You set me, set me, set me on

You set me, set me, set me on fire

My sunburn surrender

You set me, set me, set me on

You set me, set me, set me on fire

My sunburn surrender
