Sam Truth uses the metaphor of burning houses to imply that the person he wants to be friends with is destructive when it comes to relationships. He comes to realize that they were not compatible in the first place later in the song.
I guess our energies don't add up
I guess our energies don't add up
I could let you in
But you like to burn houses
Down
I could use a friend
But I guess you don't need that though
I could let you inside
But you like to burn houses
Down
Push it all away
But I guess you don't realize though
I guess our energies don't add up
I won't say a word
I guess our energies don't add up
I won't say a word
I'd invite you in
But you like to burn houses
I could use a friend
But I guess you don't need that
I'd invite you in
But you like to burn houses
I could use a friend
But I guess you don't need that
