Rise Against - House On Fire lyrics

[Verse 1] I can see the storms, in her eyes now Im 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, “No!” But there is no f**ing way I’d leave you [Chorus] 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 Like a house on fire we’re wrapped in flames I’d burn you if that’s what it takes To let you know I won’t let go of you [Verse 2] But is the soundtrack to our lives The pain 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 we I can’t control No matter what I do [Chorus] 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 Like a house on fire we’re wrapped in flames I’d burn you if that’s what it takes To let you know I won’t let go of you [Verse 3] And how is it a thing? That we just wanna hurt each other I’m waiting on for rain Feels like is 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 [Chorus] ‘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 Like a house on fire we’re wrapped in flames I’d burn you if that’s what it takes To let you know I can’t let go of you Of you, Of you, of you, of you
