Wild Harbors - House on Fire Lyrics

I was raised to run away from anything on fire
And never told that everything gold was refined in flame
When it came to friction I fixed my eyes onto the floor
And when they closed the door, I learned to do the same

I was taught that love was always easy, always fine
It never crossed my mind that we could ever be so far gone
The more I bite my tongue, the more we seem to fall apart
The more I start to think that maybe I was wrong

This is like running headlong straight into a hurricane
It's breaking down the door to a house on fire

All you wanted was to know that I was on your side
All I wanted was to keep the wolves at bay
I kept myself protected at the cost of being true
Oh, but I won't make you pay that price today

This is like running headlong straight into a hurricane
It's breaking down the door to a house on fire
It's closing in to panic in the pouring rain
It's fighting for the thing I most desire

Come what may, we'll find a way to make it all work out
I gave you my word, and you gave me your solemn vow
It's funny, I know, but what I wanna know right now
Is would you say it again when the world is burning down?
Would you say it again when the world is burning down?

This is like running headlong straight into a hurricane
It's breaking down the door to a house on fire
It's closing in to panic in the pouring rain
It's fighting for the thing I most desire
