House on Fire (Ghost Note Symphonies) Songtext
von Rise Against

Oh, 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 "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, oh oh oh oh
And 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, oh oh oh oh


But is the soundtrack to our lives
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 oh oh oh
And 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, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh, oh, oh

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
Yeah, I would do it all again


And ′til then I′ll hold you like a hand grenade
You'll touch me like a razor blade
I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh oh oh
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, oh oh oh oh
Of you
Of you, oh oh oh oh
Of you
Of you
