It's only when I turn away
Only when I'm near the edge
I look around and see where I should be instead
You can think you've got it all wrapped up
Then you feel the threads unwind
There's nothing I can do
Now it's too late to realize
Got you on my mind

Sunburnt through the glass
Ooh, you've got me beat
I saw the light but I missed the heat
I thought I had all that I wanted
Sunburnt through the glass
Ooh, it's gone so deep
Why'd it take me this long to see
That all that I wanted was to say

All I wanna do is get back
Try to find that light that I know went black

The beach has started closing off
The evening tide is coming in
Trying to catch that train and call in one last drink
Enough of trying to shake the dark
Enough of trying to trick the light
I could really do with letting someone else decide
Where to spend the night

Sunburnt through the glass
Ooh you got me deep
I saw the light but I missed the heat
I thought I had all that I wanted
Sunburnt through the glass
Oh, it's gone so deep
Why'd it take me this long to see
That all that I wanted was to say
Don't tell me it's too late

Sunburnt through the glass
Ooooh, you got me beat
I saw the light but I missed the heat
I thought I had all that I wanted
Sunburnt through the glass
Ooooh, you got me beat
Why'd it take me so long to see
That all that I wanted was to say

Tell me if you can hold on, hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
Driving straight back through the night
Tell me if you can hold on, hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
Flashing headlights in my eyes
