Origineel
[Intro]
Trying to understand what’s with you
And all your friends and your friends’ friends are trying too
It’s hard to find the words I really want to say
But there’s no point in waiting for another day
[Verse 1]
Crashing at the beach till season’s end
Our unknown future was just waiting straight ahead
Yeah on the verge of something we’ll never forget
In this the summer of our utter discontent
[Pre-Chorus]
All caught up with the things that you want to do
You’re all caught up in the things that are only you
[Chorus]
You gotta set yourself on fire
I see you set yourself on fire
Now you’re burning down
Burning down
[Verse 2]
Those days reckless, earnest, angry and naive
So much has changed but so much stays the same
Yeah self destruction is still flowin’ in my veins
Could rise to greatness or could all go down in flames
[Pre-Chorus]
All caught up with the things that you want to do
You’re all caught up in the things that are only you
[Chorus]
You gotta set yourself on fire
I see you set yourself on fire
Now you’re burning down
Burning down
[Bridge]
What are we, what are we going to do now
What are we, what are we going to do
What are we, what are we going to do now
Ooooh
What are we, what are we going to do now
What are we, what are we going to do
What are we, what are we going to do now
Ooooh
[Chorus]
You gotta set yourself on fire
I see you set yourself on fire
Now you’re burning down
Burning down
[Outro]
You’re gonna burn
You’re gonna burn
You’re gonna burn
You’re gonna burn
Vertaling
[Intro]
Proberen te begrijpen wat er met je is
En al je vrienden en de vrienden van je vrienden proberen het ook
Het is moeilijk om de woorden te vinden die ik echt wil zeggen
Maar het heeft geen zin om op een andere dag te wachten
[Verse 1]
Crashing at the beach till season’s end
Our unknown future was just waiting straight ahead
Ja, op de rand van iets dat we nooit zullen vergeten.
In deze zomer van onze ontevredenheid
[Pre-Chorus]
Helemaal gevangen in de dingen die je wilt doen
You’re all caught up in the things that are only you
[refrein]
You gotta set yourself on fire
Ik zie dat je jezelf in brand steekt
Now you’re burning down
Burning down
[Verse 2]
Die dagen roekeloos, serieus, boos en naïef
Zoveel is veranderd maar zoveel blijft hetzelfde
Ja zelfvernietiging stroomt nog steeds door mijn aderen
Could rise to greatness or could all go down in flames
[Pre-Chorus]
Helemaal gevangen in de dingen die je wilt doen
You’re all caught up in the things that are only you
[Chorus]
You gotta set yourself on fire
I see you set yourself on fire
Now you’re burning down
Burning down
[Bridge]
Wat gaan we, wat gaan we nu doen
Wat gaan we, wat gaan we doen
Wat gaan we, wat gaan we nu doen
Ooooh
Wat gaan we, wat gaan we nu doen
Wat gaan we nu doen?
Wat gaan we, wat gaan we nu doen
Ooooh
[Chorus]
You gotta set yourself on fire
I see you set yourself on fire
Now you’re burning down
Burning down
[Outro]
Je gaat branden
Je gaat branden
Je gaat branden
Je gaat branden
