This song talks about two lovers, fighting with eachother non-stop, hence the “House on Fire”. They want to stop, and they believe they can “put out the fire” and be happy if they try.
Drop me off at my car
I know I'm drunk, but it ain't that far
Promise that I'll get home safe
Can't be talked better it's too late
And the people will forget it tomorrow
But I know that you still feel hollow
It's dangerous to love each other
With the house on fire, but I know that
We can put out the fire if we try tonight
It's dangerous to love each other
With the house on fire, but I know that
We can put out the fire if we try tonight
Ending up is harder these days
And I feel so strange in this place
'Cause the mirror on my head
Feels better when you're not upset
And I won't change you know it's the truth
But there ain't much you can do
It's dangerous to love each other
With the house on fire, but I know that
We can put out the fire if we try tonight
It's dangerous to love each other
With the house on fire, but I know that
We can put out the fire if we try tonight
Standing in the morning
Standing in the eve'
And I can't believe
That you're staying with me
Standing in the morning
Standing in the eve'
And I can't believe
That you're staying with me
It's dangerous to love each other
With the house on fire, but I know that
We can put out the fire if we try tonight
It's dangerous to love each other
With the house on fire, but I know that
We can put out the fire if we try tonight
If we try tonight
If we try tonight
If we try tonight
If we try tonight
