Civil Twilight - Church On Fire lyrics

Two by two, they came into that sunlit room The only church in this town The only town that I ever knew I sat in the back row, next to the open door So I could feel the breeze on my skin And know that there's something more than just this I saw her walking down Bellmont Avenue And from the back window of my father's car You waved at me and I waved at you We kissed after years of waiting Years of holding hands And I felt something shift inside my soul That no man could understand I burn like a church on fire In the light of the afternoon I hope you can feel my desire 'Cause these flames rise for you One by one, I went through all the things I've done To get to this place I stand Where I look down and I don't recognize my own hands I wrote you a letter for every day that I was away But how many words does one man need to say what he needs to say I burn like a church on fire In the light of the afternoon I hope you can feel my desire 'Cause these flames rise for you Yeah, that was me I poured the gasoline I lit the match for everyone to see The fireworks in my heart Yeah, that was me I burned it to the ground Yeah, that was me I burned it all down I burned this to the ground Everything that has let us down Everything that has let us down One by one, I went through all the things I've done
