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
 The 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 line
 So 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 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 burn
 I'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 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'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 burn
 ♪
 Put 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 us
 We got everything we need yeah
 We 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 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 side
 And let the rest burn
 Ashes from the flames, the truth is what remains
