House On Fire

Lyrics

I can see the storms in her eyes now
 I'm falling overboard in the waves
 In over my head and she's a high tide
 That keeps pushing me away
 I thought that we would build this together
 But everything I touch just seems to break
 Am I your sail or your anchor?
 Am I the calm or the hurricane?
 I feel the ground start to shake
 I hear a voice shouting "No"
 But there is no fucking way
 I'd leave you
 So, I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
 You touch me like a razor blade
 I wish there was some other way right now, oh
 Like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames
 I'd burn you if that's what it takes
 To let you know I won't let go of you, oh
 ♪
 But is the soundtrack to our lives
 Is the bang of a slamming door
 What happens when we all start to feel like
 Nothing matters anymore
 Every day like a chambered round, a trigger pulled
 A hammer click, a breath we hold
 A world outside I can't control, no matter what I do
 So, I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
 You touch me like a razor blade
 I wish there was some other way right now, oh
 Like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames
 I'd burn you if that's what it takes
 To let you know I won't let go of you, oh
 ♪
 How is it a thing
 That we just wanna hurt each other
 I'm waiting on for rain
 'Cause life is gonna rain forever
 Someday you will learn
 That all I ever did was for you
 And I would do it all again
 I would do it all again
 'Til then I'll hold you like a hand grenade
 You touch me like a razor blade
 I wish there was some other way right now, oh
 Like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames
 I'd burn you if that's what it takes
 To let you know I can't let go of you, oh
 Of you
 Of you
 Of you
 Of you
 
 I can see the storms in her eyes now
 I'm falling overboard in the waves
 In over my head and she's a high tide
 That keeps pushing me away
 I thought that we would build this together
 But everything I touch just seems to break
 Am I your sail or your anchor?
 Am I the calm or the hurricane?
 I feel the ground start to shake
 I hear a voice shouting "No"
 But there is no fucking way
 I'd leave you
 So, I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
 You touch me like a razor blade
 I wish there was some other way right now, oh
 Like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames
 I'd burn you if that's what it takes
 To let you know I won't let go of you, oh
