    "Bridge Burning"
    These are my famous last words!
    My number's up, bridges well, burned
    Oh, won't you let me twist your faith
    It's getting kinda late but I don't wanna wait no more
    Oh may I have this dance of days
    Locked in your embrace
    Passed your test of faith
    Another time another place
    Another line upon your face
    Another in your way
    Down crooked stairs and sideways glances
    Comes the king of second chances
    Now throw him in the flame
    Whatever keeps you warm at night
    (Whatever keeps you warm at night)
    Whatever keeps you warm inside
    Your bridges are burning now
    They're all coming down
    It's all coming round
    You're burning them down
    It's all coming round
    They're all coming down
    Your bridges are burning now
    Oh let me put you in your place
    I love it when you say
    Giving everything away
    Tell now what's in it for me
    Tell me now what's in it for me
    No one's getting this for free
    Tell me now what's in it for me
    Whatever keeps you warm at night
    (Whatever keeps you warm at night)
    Whatever keeps you warm inside
    Your bridges are burning now
    They're all coming down
    It's all coming round
    You're burning them down
    It's all coming round
    They're all coming down
    Your bridges are burning now
    Gather in the ashes
    Everything thrown away
    Gather in the ashes
    Scatter as they blow away
    Gather in the ashes
    Everything thrown away
    Gather in the ashes
    Scatter as they blow away
    Your bridges are burning now
    They're all coming down
    It's all coming round
    You're burning them down
    It's all coming round
    They're all coming down
    They're all coming down
    Gather in the ashes (Your bridges are burning down)
    Everything thrown away (They're all coming down)
    Gather in the ashes(It's all coming round)
    Scatter as they blow away
    Gather in the ashes (You're burning them down)

    I swear sometimes I feel like one of the three guitarists is useless.

      You would think that but when one isn’t there it’s a totally different sound

    Taylor's a pretty good singer but what the fuck is up with his vocals on this performance?

      I know right. Its like he was singing with his stomach muscles instead of his vocal chords haha

      I think that had more to do with the mic and the sound guys than Taylor...

      Well... He's drumming AND singing... Try these both at the same time and see if you can hit that note right =P

    Agh, someone already said it, but this MUST be their best album thus far because they are sounding better than ever-- and the foos always sound pretty darn good. this is my favourite song right now, love the energy. I could listen to this song and watch this video til the end of my days

    Wasting Light is one of those albums that every song could/should be it's own single.
