[Chorus I]
Throw it on the pyre and watch it glow
Given the chance I would be better
Jump off the high dive and let go
I can’t swim but I would follow
[Verse I]
Fields of goldenrod, groves of hemlock
Rolling earth leading to locked doors
Just a couple knots from my home in the larch tree
So why does it feel like we’re worlds apart?
[Chorus II]
Throw it on the pyre and watch it glow
If we did this again I could be better
Jump off the high dive and let go
Ten feet deep and I’m still sinking
[Verse II]
The number thirty-six, white cars, and curly brown hair
Each a growing pit in my stomach
Why do the things I love
Always turn sour?
Or is it me that has gone bad?
[Chorus III]
Throw it on the pyre and watch it glow
Give me the chance to be better
Jump off the high dive and let go
Call the lifeguard ’cause I’m drowning
[Verse III]
I curse the goldenrod at summer’s end
For even the spring won’t awake this
This is how it has to end, but I want you to know
I will always love you
