The open road is an invitation
But it's not made to satisfy me
And a warm embrace is an expectation
And when I'm cold I'll climb inside

And I wasn't sent to save you
'Cause then I'd have to save me too
And I don't think we'll live forever
Forever is too long for me

Oh, you think happiness will heal you
But it can't heal what we hide inside
And your mother was a positive thinker
But that wasn't enough to keep you by her side

And I didn't come to entertain you
And your sunny smile look won't satisfy me
Youth, I had to recreate you
I wouldn't change a thing and I wouldn't change three

But burn, let it burn
Oh, let it burn
Burn, let it burn
Oh, let it burn

Oh, I didn't come to make a living
That just wouldn't satisfy me
And the man next door who makes a killing
That just wouldn't satisfy me

And I don't want a reputation
And I don't think you want one too
And I thank you for the education
One satisfied boy's in love with you
