"This House Is On Fire" lyrics

"This House Is On Fire"

This house is on fire
And it's burnin' through the wood again
It's burning through the life we've never known
And where we've been
This house is on fire
And it's making its way into the living room
Tearing through the couch where we lay
And all we knew
For free
It's all on fire

This house is on fire
And it's creeping down the hall again
Then rising up the walls where we cooked
Our catchment town
It's on fire
Crawling through the make-up bed
Seeping through the floor where we stood
With all we've been
For free
It's on fire

And now it burns bright in the night
So you can find your way
Back home
Back home

And now it burns bright in the night
So you can find your way
Back home
Back home to me
This house is on fire
