Church On Fire

Two by two, they came into that sunlit room

The only church in this town

The only town that I ever knew

I sat in the back row, next to the open door

So I could feel the breeze on my skin

And know that there's something more than just this

I saw her walking down Bellmont Avenue

And from the back window of my father's car

You waved at me and I waved at you

We kissed after years of waiting

Years of holding hands

And I felt something shift inside my soul

That no man could understand

I burn like a church on fire

In the light of the afternoon

I hope you can feel my desire

'Cause these flames rise for you

One by one, I went through all the things I've done

To get to this place I stand

Where I look down and I don't recognize my own hands

I wrote you a letter for every day that I was away

But how many words does one man need to say what he needs to say

I burn like a church on fire

In the light of the afternoon

I hope you can feel my desire

'Cause these flames rise for you

Yeah, that was me

I poured the gasoline

I lit the match for everyone to see

The fireworks in my heart

Yeah, that was me

I burned it to the ground

Yeah, that was me

I burned it all down

I burned this to the ground

Everything that has let us down

Everything that has let us down

One by one, I went through all the things I've done
