Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's time to go, it's time to bounce
It's time to go and take your bow
When everyone in the street spits your name
It's time to go while you still can
It's time to take another chance
When patterns turn to ruts inside your brain
[PreChorus]
And though it saddens me to say
I think it only goes one way
[Chorus]
If you stay in town, they'll burn you down
If you stand your ground, you will burn
[Verse 2]
It's time to take your time again
It's time let the silence in
There are times you should take famine over fame
'Cause, honey, if you're pure, and I know you are
They'll try stick you in a jar
Or pin you like a butterfly to a frame
[PreChorus]
And though it breaks my heart thinking
How your sweet ship's suddenly sinking
[Chorus]
If you stay in town, they'll burn you down
If you stand your ground, you will burn
If you stay in town, they'll burn you down
And you're too young now to burn
[Instrumental]
Yes, you should run
You should run for a while
Give your sweetness to the world that's outside
[Instrumental]
If you stay in town, they'll burn you down
If you stand your ground, you will burn
If you stay in town, they'll burn you down
And you're too young now to burn
Yes, you're too young now to burn
