Like a house on fire
Like a house on fire

Wage war on your preconceptions
Of my exception to come
What you rely on to give purpose to your lifelong dreams
Of being what you'll never become

'Cause you gotta give
More than you've got to give
To watch it all fall

As I watch it fall away from me
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)
And all I am turn to all I can be
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)

Fall back on the same excuses
That you've been using for years (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The only person that you're holding back's
The only one that needed to hear all along

'Cause you gotta give
More than you've got to give
To watch it all fall

As I watch it fall away from me
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)
And all I am turn to all I can be
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)

Like a house on fire
Like a house on fire
I watch it fall away from me
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)

As I watch it fall away from me
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)
And all I am turn to all I can be
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)

Like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, oh
Like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, oh
