You Were A House On Fire by Listener
And you were a house on fire, and I couldn't understand why
Burn me all down to the ground, you said, the fire is on the inside
Flames dancing like ghosts, behind the windows
Pain jumping from the walls
You want to keep this private, I can see that
But you can't ask that of me, we've only just met
I said we need hope now more than ever before, do you believe it?
The answer was silence, I'll take it as a no
We all want to be normal anyways
We all want to be somewhere else than where we live
But that's not reality, it's just point of view
Let's not talk about the weather
And whether or not there's really rain the clouds
Unless you want to know if I feel the same as you
It's more measuring up than just wasting time
But time is not on our side, you're burning
Rain would only be a temporary fix
And there's just no place right now for cute ironies
Like that anymore, your a house on fire
We all write songs about life, we just sing them different.
You sing the words but you don't know the song.
And you expect us all to sing along? how selfish
The lengths that we go to, to put so much distance between us is staggering
You're burning alive with stress and life
