House on Fire

I rushed into a house on fire

Started by a telephone wire

Now I can’t breathe or see where I

stand

I poured water like a fool

But there was just no saving you

Now I can’t bear to wear this wedding

Band

I don’t wanna die but I’m afraid to fall

All my friends are waving down below

One too many stories in a slow southern drawl

Break the glass and let me go

Break the glass and let me go

We got on like a house on fire

Started by a telephone wire

Now I can’t tell who I used to be

I stayed ‘til there was nothing left

Not even one last cigarette

I’m not gonna let you smother me .

I don’t wanna die but I’m afraid to fall

All my friends are waving down below

One too many stories in a slow southern drawl

Break the glass

Break the glass

Break the glass and let me go
