lyrics

HOUSE ON FIRE

high on a roof
traffic down below
we wr stoned + we were spinning
feelin everything
everything

we wonder if the moon
we wonder if the stars
wr as clever as the 2 of us
knowing
how stupid
we r

the good ones often
have sadness in their smile
+ the pretty
can never come clean
but you my friend
made a trip
across a wire
all the way
all the way
to me

yr naked with yr clothes on
as fragile as a fighter
you hold me with yr eyes
when yr standing
in a house
on fire

C

you have a secret that inspires you
a secret, sacred place
+ you wr cryin + shakin when ya told me
+ i'll never forget the look
i can never forget the look
on your face

C
