"Burn It Down" lyrics

"Burn It Down"

I keep my heat on a short leash
I keep my feet on the floor
And it might come back to haunt me, baby
But I'm not afraid anymore

From you there's no escaping
For you, I feel it all
When my world needed saving
We watched the ashes fall

Ooh, what you do to me now
I'm a fire that you can't put out
Why don't you come to my house?
We could burn this whole place down
'Cause your kiss could kill
And it makes me wild
Come on, light me up
In the darkest hours
Ooh, what you do to me now
The way that you love me
Gonna burn this whole place down
Burn it down

There ain't no water for drinking
Just tangled up here with you
I'm getting these revelations, baby
Every breath, every move

From you there's no escaping
For you, I feel it all
When my world needed saving
We watched the ashes fall

Ooh, what you do to me now
I'm a fire that you can't put out
Why don't you come to my house?
We could burn this whole place down
'Cause your kiss could kill
And it makes me wild
Come on, light me up
In the darkest hours
Ooh, what you do to me now
The way that you love me
Gonna burn this whole place down
Burn it down
Burn this whole place down
Burn it down, yeah

Ooh, what you do to me now
I'm a fire that you can't put out
Why don't you come to my house?
We could burn this whole place down
'Cause your kiss could kill
And it makes me wild
Come on, light me up
In the darkest hours
Ooh, what you do to me now
The way that you love me
Gonna burn this whole place down
Burn it down
Burn it down
