House on Fire lyrics

[Intro]
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Verse 1]
Wage war on your preconceptions
Of my exception to come
What you rely on to give purpose to your lifelong dreams
Of being what you'll never become

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you gotta give
More than you've got to give
To watch it all fall

[Chorus]
As I watch it fall away from me
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
And all I am turn to all I can be
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Verse 2]
Fall back on the same excuses
That you've been using for years
The only person that you're holding back's
The only one that needed to hear all along
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you gotta give
More than you've got to give
To watch it all fall

[Chorus]
As I watch it fall away from me
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
And all I am turn to all I can be
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Bridge]
I watch it fall away from me
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Chorus]
As I watch it fall away from me
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
And all I am turn to all I can be
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Outro]
Like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, oh
Like a house on fire
Like a house on fire, oh
