[Verse 1]
I been wakin' up early, somethin' I've never done
I wouldn't say I'm gettin' old, but I wouldn't say I'm young
Sunrise and pot of coffee, the kids run in the yard
It wasn't long ago that life was hard
[Chorus]
Now I just wanna love you
'Til the world falls down
To the very end
And there in the wreckage we can
Set all our sadness on fire
My sweet arsonist
Ashes to ashes
[Verse 2]
I could build a lifetime from the things I've given up
Homes and jobs and men who cared, I've turned my back on love
I took what I could, turned away, and I burnt down every bridge
I did my best but that's no way to live
[Chorus]
Now I just wanna love you
'Til the world falls down
To the very end
And there in the wreckage we can
Set all our sadness on fire
My sweet arsonist
Ashes to ashes
[Bridge]
So set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
[Verse 3]
Sing me a love song and hold me tight
Your tongue in my mouth, your hand on my hip set me on fire
And when we're done, tired, and the passion of our bodies turns into peacefulness
You're still my best friend, I want my best friend
[Outro]
Now I just wanna love you
'Til the world falls down
To the very end
And there in the wreckage we can
Set all our sadness on fire
My sweet arsonist
Ashes to ashes
My sweet arsonist
Ashes to ashes
