"If The House Burns Down Tonight" Lyrics

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 burn

Sunset burns like gasoline
Touch me; 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 then
There's a spark in the corner of my baby's eye
Like a distant star that won't burn quiet
Yeah, and I might not know what I want from this life
But I know I want more than the starting line
So give me the fire
Yeah give me the fire

I can hear the motor running down the interstate
And all the distractions fade away
And if the house burns down tonight
I've got everything I need with you by my side
I see the smoke piling up in the rearview mirror
Yeah, but I've never seen it any clearer
If the house burns down tonight
I've got everything I need when I've got you by my side
And let the rest burn
And let the rest burn
And let the rest burn

I'd given too much of heart away
My soul was holding on like a house divided
Like a match that burns down at a masquerade
And I had to let it go when the fire ignited

One 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 fire

The smoke tries choking the pacific sun
We rocket down the road like we shot out a gun
And if the house burns down tonight
I've got everything I need with you by my side
Holding you and the wheel it occurs to me
We're driving down the edge of eternity
And if the house burns down tonight
I've got everything I need when I've got you by my side
And let the rest burn
And let the rest burn

Put your hand in mine, and
Put your heart in drive, and
We've got everything we need, yeah
We've got everything we need, yeah

Left it all behind us
What we need to find was
We've got everything we need, yeah
We've got everything we need, yeah

Can you hear that motor running
Can you hear that motor running
There ain't no stopping us now
There ain't no slowing us down
Can you hear that motor running
Can you hear that motor run
Run
Run

And 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've got everything I; everything I need
Yeah there's a fire coming that we all go through
You posses your possessions or they posses you
And if the house burns down tonight
I've got everything I need when I've got you by my side
And let the rest burn

Ashes from the flames
The truth is what remains
