Burn The House Down

[Verse 1]
Leave the pictures in the frames on the walls
Leave the ghost of you and me in the halls
Leave the TV on in the livin' room, ah
Let the memories disappear in the smoke
Deep breath, let 'em go even if I choke
I know I'll be breathin' easy soon

[Chorus]
I'm watchin' the flame do what it does
I'm watchin' a name turn into dust
I'm pourin' gasoline on a king-size mattress
Light it up with some dive bar matches
As hot as it is right now
You can't rise from the ashes 'til you burn the house down

[Verse 2]
Looks good from the outside lookin' in
Felt more like lyin' though, livin' it
Scared to make a move, I'm scared to make a mess, ah
You can't stitch up this kind of broken heart
Open eyes can't go back into the dark
I can't live a new life with the same address

[Chorus]
I'm watchin' the flame do what it does
I'm watchin' a name turn into dust
I'm pourin' gasoline on a king-size mattress
Light it up with some dive bar matches
As hot as it is right now
You can't rise from the ashes 'til you burn the house down

[Post-Chorus]
Until you burn the house down
Until you burn the house down
Until you burn the house down

[Bridge]
From the ceilin' to the floor
From the back porch to the front door
Little bit stronger, little bit older
No one tells you how to start over

[Chorus]
I'm watchin' the flame do what it does
I'm watchin' a name turn into dust
I'm pourin' gasoline on a king-size mattress
Light it up with some dive bar matches
As hot as it is right now
You can't rise from the ashes 'til you burn the house down

[Outro]
Ah, I can't rise from the ashes 'til I burn the house down
