house on fire lyrics (full video) – 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 move
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, ohohohoh
like a house on fire we’re up in flames
i’d burn here if that’s what it takes
to let you know i won’t let go of you, ohohohoh…

is the soundtrack to our lives
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, ohohohoh
like a house on fire we’re up in flames
i’d burn here if that’s what it takes
to let you know i won’t let go of you, ohohohoh…

how is it a thing
that we just wanna hurt each other
i’m waiting out the rain
feels like it’s 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, ohohohoh
like a house on fire we’re up in flames
i’d burn here if that’s what it takes
to let you know i can’t let go of you, ohohohoh…

of you, ohohohoh
of you, ohohohoh
of you, ohohohoh
of you…
