lyrics
We woke up this morning
Not knowing
that our house
was burning down
Opened up our eyes
Expecting peace,
but we saw flames
all around
Was this our love on fire?
Turned to smoke
while we were lying down
Or our hopes on the pyre?
Turned to ash
while we danced all around
We met up at midday
the sun
had hung itself
out in the yard
And though we feared defeat
We knew our hearts
could take the heat
despite the scars
Was this our love on fire?
Burning bones of plans
that we had laid
Or our hopes on the pyre?
Cracklin'
in the sirens' serenade
Night fell like a hammer
to pound into
our heads
a newborn shame
Everything is now
and forever
we won't forget
the pain
Of our love on fire
Rising from the one
eternal flame
Or our hopes on the pyre
Embers on the wind
to light the way
Of our love on fire
Rising from the one
eternal flame
Or our hopes on the pyre
Embers on the wind
to light our way
Not knowing
that our house
was burning down
Opened up our eyes
Expecting peace,
but we saw flames
all around
Was this our love on fire?
Turned to smoke
while we were lying down
Or our hopes on the pyre?
Turned to ash
while we danced all around
We met up at midday
the sun
had hung itself
out in the yard
And though we feared defeat
We knew our hearts
could take the heat
despite the scars
Was this our love on fire?
Burning bones of plans
that we had laid
Or our hopes on the pyre?
Cracklin'
in the sirens' serenade
Night fell like a hammer
to pound into
our heads
a newborn shame
Everything is now
and forever
we won't forget
the pain
Of our love on fire
Rising from the one
eternal flame
Or our hopes on the pyre
Embers on the wind
to light the way
Of our love on fire
Rising from the one
eternal flame
Or our hopes on the pyre
Embers on the wind
to light our way
