House on Fire

The rooms in your house Pitch black and cold The lights won't turn on You've tried every bulb On the kitchen counter there's a rose bowl matchbook Alone at the edge Of your quiet street You run out of reasons You pour gasoline You strike a match And drop the flame 'Til you're surrounded I'd be the first to arrive I'd knock down the door Never wanted to be there For anyone more Crawl thru the smoke Pull you up off the ground I'd carry you out Of a house on fire Before it all burns down We're one silhouette now Damaged and burned The sound of the sirens Arrive just like birds I'll do the talking for you, don't say a word Cause we're surrounded I'd be the first to arrive I'd knock down the door Never wanted to be there For anyone more I'd crawl thru the smoke Pull you up off the ground I'd carry you out Of a house on fire Before it all burns down Ashes fill the air As we both disappear Blame it on a busted smoke alarm We couldn't hear Before it all burns down Before it all burns down Before it all burns down
