Just about the time
Your heart breaks like a wheel
Not in a straight line
But all in pieces
Some you'll leave behind
On a road you won't revise
No you won't
Revisit that dirty compromise

Now you only
Dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
Baby the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes

So look up up ahead city lights are dancing for you
Visit the aurora burning off the edges of the sky
Don't cry
Don't cry
That's all over now
That's all over now

Now you only
Dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
Baby the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes

Dry your wings in the sun
You have only begun to understand
When its time to move on
There is no one to hold your hand
So let go
Let go
Let go

Here the night is fine
Stars are sparks of steal
Chiseled in the minds of twilight
You tell me something real
Say don't try
Don't try
Just remember how
Remember
Remember

Now you only
Dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
Baby the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes

On your eyes
On your eyes
On your eyes

    My Interpretation

    This song is about starting over. Whether it be in a relationship or a job and not being afraid to start over. She references to the phoenix which is a mystical bird that would burst into flames after it did what it needed to do and out of the ashes it would be reborn. Thats why she says the ashes look pretty on your eyes.
