[Verse 1]
I have spent a lifetime
Waiting for the chance
To save you my confession
Save the one last dance
The same old superstition
Haunt us now and then
I'm begging for ignition
To start it all again

[Chorus]
We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride
We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride
We'll burn away from all the other flames that burn tonight
We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

[Post-Chorus]
Breathe for me from now on
Breathe for me when I'm gone
Burn out beyond
Out beyond the sun

[Verse 2]
Will you still remember
There behind the skies
Walking on the embers
Standing in their light
The hardest part is knowing
Everything must die
The hardest part is waiting here
Waiting to collide

[Chorus]
We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride
We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride
We'll burn away from all the other flames that burn tonight
We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

[Post-Chorus]
Breathe for me from now on
Breathe for me when I'm gone
Burn out beyond
Out beyond the sun

[Bridge]
Burn on, burn on
Calling to you
Burn on, burn on
Calling to you
Burn on, buuuuurn

[Outro]
I'll never burn again
Never burn again
Never burn again
Never burn again
We'll never burn again
Never burn again

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
