House On Fire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can see the storms in her eyes now
I'm fallen 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 "Move"
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
Like a house on fire
We're wrapped in flames
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
To let you know I won't let go of you
But is the soundtrack to our lives
The pain 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
Like a house on fire
We're wrapped in flames
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
To let you know I won't let go of you
How is it a thing?
That we just wanna hurt each other
I'm waiting on for rain
Feels like 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
Till 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
Like a house on fire
We're wrapped in flames
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
To let you know I can't let go of you
Of you
Of you
Of you
Of you
