Lyrics

I dream big dreams
'Cause that's what dreamers do
I fight fights that I know I will lose
I built a home
I became its walls, I became its doors
And now I'm afraid I might become
Exactly what I built me for
I am a house on fire
With a hole to the outside just big enough so that I can breathe
And the firefighters try to save me
But I tell them I'm just joking
And they drive away angry and I run away
Burn
If I say it's time to go
What I mean is I have got to go
I dream big dreams
I fill in the gaps with the world I know
And I still remember Florence
Waving goodbye like I would see her tomorrow
I finally know what she went through
I guess she was burning too
I am a house on fire
With a hole to the outside just big enough so that I can breathe
And the firefighters try to save me
But I tell them I'm just joking
And they drive away angry and I run away
Burn
So I stalk myself in a corner
And the flames crackle and spit at me and say
"You better do something important with your time
You better do something important with your time
You better do something important with your time
You better do something important with your time
You better do something important with your time
You better do something, you better do something
You better do something important with your time
'Cause you're better off burning than wasted"
I am a house on fire
With a hole to the outside just big enough so that I can breathe
And the firefighters try to save me
But I tell them I'm just joking
And they drive away angry and I run away
Burn
I dream big dreams
'Cause that's what dreamers do
I fight fights that I know I will lose
I built a home
I became its walls, I became its doors
And now I'm afraid I might become
Exactly what I built me for
