| 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 |
