lyrics

Apparently mistakes make you learn things
At least I've always heard things along those lines
Every story is a cautionary tale, but I don't learn my lesson
When I see a ray of light I chase it
over mountains and through rivers because it shot through the grey
I never quite catch the beam it must be an illusion
or at least something other than it seemed
But if a ray of light pierces the dark again
no matter how my heart broke before I'll probably dive in
ask me what I've learned from being torn up underneath
Well I guess I learned I'd rather burn than freeze
I guess I'd rather burn than freeze

I realized on a day in December
it was noon, as warm as it gets on a cold day
I had to stop, I was shivering
the cold triumphant over my body
then I knew I would never want to live like this
observing through a layer of ice
numb from my fingers to the inside
too cold to ever take flight2
Because it doesn't matter how hard you laugh all day
if you still cry at night
You'd think that laughter would be better but its not if its laughter of fright
ask me what I've learned from falling shaking to my knees
Well I guess I learned I'd rather burn than freeze
I guess I'd rather burn than freeze

When I fall I fall to pieces I don't know how I'd be right again
I hope some time someone will catch me and set me right and bring me in
sometimes I just can't sleep even when I hold my eyes shut tight
I need a sunrise from this long and fearful night
but i guess if I can't get what I need
then I guess I'd rather burn than freeze
I guess I'd rather burn, burn
I'd rather burn than freeze
