House on Fire - Rise Against
Album: Wolves
genre: Alternative Rock Punk-Rock
I can see the storms, in their eyes now
We’re 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 No
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
Like a house on fire we’re wrapped in flames
I’d burn you if that’s what it takes
To let you know I won’t let go of you
And if the soundtrack to our lives
The pain bang of a slamming door
What happens if 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 we 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
Like a house on fire we’re wrapped in flames
I’d burn you if that’s what it takes
To let you know I won’t let go of you
And how is it a thing
That we just wanna hurt each other
I’m waiting on for rain
Cause life is gonna rain forever
Someday you will learn
That all I ever did was for you
And I would do it all again
I would do it all again
‘Til then I’ll hold you like a hand grenade
You touch me like a razor blade
I wish there was some other way right now
Like a house on fire we’re wrapped in flames
I’d burn you if that’s what it takes
To let you know I can’t let go of you
Of you, Of you, of you, of you
