House On Fire Songtext
von Rise Against

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 "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, oh
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, oh


But is the soundtrack to our lives
Is 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
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, oh

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, oh
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, oh

Of you
Of you
Of you
Of you
