“Bringing the House Down” is the third single from Australian singer-songwriter CLOVES' debut album, One Big Nothing.
Drawing comparisons to the likes of Lana Del Rey’s “Love” and Sage’s “Not Really”, it is a guitar-heavy track that sets the tone for the raw soundscape of its parent album.
CLOVES...
[Verse 1]
What was I thinking trying to put words in your mouth?
I should just leave it
And let you figure it out
It's louder in the silence
As I try, I try
To keep it together, but you're bringing the house down
[Chorus]
I can feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to fuel that fire in you
Feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to keep that fire burning
[Verse 2]
What were you thinking?
I gave you the perfect out
You didn't believe it
That we could turn it around
Show me that it matters and I'll try, I'll try
To keep it together, but you're bringing the house down
[Chorus]
I can feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to fuel that fire in you
Feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to keep that fire burning
Feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to fuel that fire in you
Feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to keep that fire burning
[Verse 3]
I've let it go
Once or twice
I've let it go, even though my feelings were right
And now I know it's hard to fight
Now I know you came at the wrong time
[Chorus]
I can feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to fuel that fire in you
Feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to keep that fire burning
I can feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to fuel that fire in you
Feel it burning out
And I won't stop trying to keep that fire burning
And I won't stop trying to keep that fire burning
