Текст песни: You Were A House On Fire + перевод

And you were a house on fire

And I couldn’t understand why

«Burn me all down to the ground,» you said

«The fire is on the inside.»

Flames dancing like ghosts behind the windows

Pain jumping from the walls

You want to keep this private, I can see that

But you can’t ask that of me, we’ve only just met

I said, «We need hope now more than ever before, do you believe it?»

The answer was silence, I’ll take it as a no

We all want to be normal anyways

We all want to be somewhere else than where we live

But that’s not reality, it’s just point of view

Let’s not talk about the weather

And whether or not there’s really rain in the clouds

Unless you just want to know if I feel the same as you

It’s more measuring up than just wasting time

But time is not on our side, you’re burning

Rain would only be a temporary fix

And there’s just no place right now

For cute ironies like that anymore

You’re a house on fire

We all write songs about life

We just sing them different

You sing the words but you don’t know the song

And you expect us all to sing along? How selfish

The lengths that we go to to put so much distance between us is staggering

You’re burning alive with stress and life

Both hands in flames trying to hold the fire inside

Drop and roll, repeat line for emphasis

I’ll repeat it and repeat it until you believe it

You’re gonna be okay! Say it to me

The answer is still silence, I’ll take it as a maybe

I can’t decide if I should knock down your door or on it

Say the word and I’ll take a hatchet to your heart or a pin prick

Cut right through the dark, let’s spill out the contents

On our knees sorting through the remnants

Pour out your hates in my hands

I’ll let 'em slip right here through my fingers

And- And this is for all of us

This is for the times that we only listen long enough

To know that the other person we’re talking to has the same opinions we do

For when we’re burning inside

For when we’re trying to hide that fact

This is for the scalps that we went after, to be only the best dressed

Add another notch on our belts, put another feather in our headdress

I want to be the bigger man for you but I can’t take all this truth

I’m trying to kick the habit here but these track marks are a hundred proof

«Burn me all down to the ground,» you said

Well, I’ll kick through your ashes, hope they sober up my head
