Currents (Original Lyrics) lyrics - Dashboard Confessional

Desperation is following me

I try to shake it, but it's always on my heels

And when I try to get away, I'm in slow motion

Caught in the ruts on either side

A straight path becomes a knot I can't unwind

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if it's gotta end then let it end in flames

Let it burn all the way down

Hesitation is calling to me

I try to fight it, but it's always in my ear

And its whisper's winding reel on slow currents

Little lies to keep my tied

A straight path becomes a road I cannot find

Just some name I remember

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if it's gotta end then let it end in flames

Let it burn all the way down

All the way down

And if the light should fade away

And leave me on a darkened path

I will make some new mistakes

But I am never going back

There's only every each new step for each of us

There's so much left

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if it's gotta end then let it end in flames

Let it burn

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if it's gotta end then let it end in flames

Let it burn all the way down
