Lyrics Fitz and the Tantrums

Fitz and the Tantrums

House on Fire

So here we stand

You got caught with love in the hand

Blinded by the sun and the steel

Nothing but the sound of the feel

The blood sweat and tears

Shake off my past

I knew it but I see it at last

And now it's like climbing the walls

All I see, the smell of the smoke

The tears that they choke

I never wanted

Truth is a liar

I never needed

This house is on fire

Flashes kick in

Honoring the day you stepped in

Image of him touching your hand

Thought of it as just innocence

But now it makes sense

You were so free

Never saw that picture with me

Now this fly is climbing the walls

All I see are ashes, the pain

The love lost in vain

I never needed

Truth is a liar

I never needed

This house is on fire

I never wanted

Truth is a liar

I never needed

This house is on fire

Bury the echoes

Turn it back

Melt all my wishing

For the times we once had

Damage my vision

Set it ablaze

Destroy the hour

Take me away

I never wanted

Truth is a liar

I never needed

This house is on fire
