If the House Burns Down Tonight

Ashes from the flames

The truth is what remains

The truth is what you save

From the fire

And you fight for what you love

Don't matter if it hurts

You find out what it's worth

And you let the rest burnThe sunset burns like gasoline

Touch me and make sure that I'm not dreaming

I see her face and my heart skips beats

But I still get the feeling that we're half asleep and

There's a spark in the corner of my baby's eye

Like a distant star that won't burn quiet

And I might not know what I want from this life

But I know I want more than the starting lineSo give me the fireI can hear the motor running down the interstate

And all the distractions fade away

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need with you by my side

I see the smoke piling up in the rear view mirror

Yeah but I ain't ever seen it any clearer

If the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need when I got you by my side

And let the rest burn

And let the rest burn

And let the rest burnI've given too much of my heart away

My soul's holding on like a house divided

Like a match it burns down like a masquerade

And I had to let it go when the fire ignitedOne heart, two hands, your life is all you hold

(your life is all you hold)

To hold, hold tight and let the bitter go

Yeah let it go, and give me the fireThe smoke tries choking the pacific sun

We rocket down the road like we're shot out of guns

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need with you by my side

Holding you and the wheel and it occurs to me

We're driving down the edge of eternity

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need when I got you by my side

And let the rest burn

And let the rest burnPut your hand in mine and

Put your heart in driving

We got everything we need yeah

We got everything we need yeah

Left it all behind us

What we need will find usWe got everything we need yeah

We got everything we need yeahCan you hear that motor running

Can you hear that motor running

There ain't no stopping us now

There ain't no slowing us downCan you hear that motor running

Can you hear that motor run, run, runAnd all those lies that mattered most to me

Were draining me dry making a ghost of me

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need, everything I need

There's a fire coming that we all will go through

You possess your possessions or they possess you

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need when I got you by my sideAnd let the rest burnAshes from the flames, the truth is what remains
