House Fire Lyrics
We did what we could
To save this house from falling
But it burns because it's wood
And now you’ll never call me darling
I coughed your name
I smoked all day
And I slept myself sleepy
I was sleeping it away
Don't let it burn
Don't get confused
Don't let it get to you
We did what we could
To save this car from crashing
Your pretty face is soaked in blood
You know, I still find you dashing
Airbag suffocates
You need a little space
The rain on the windshield
I watched you limp away
Doesn't it have to hurt?
Don't get confused
Don't let it bother you
Don't try to call
You'll lose it all
You get used to her bad news,
It's just bad news
To save this house from falling
But it burns because it's wood
And now you’ll never call me darling
I smoked all day
And I slept myself sleepy
I was sleeping it away
Don't get confused
Don't let it get to you
To save this car from crashing
Your pretty face is soaked in blood
You know, I still find you dashing
You need a little space
The rain on the windshield
I watched you limp away
Don't get confused
Don't let it bother you
Don't try to call
You'll lose it all
You get used to her bad news,

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
these lyrics are unavailable everywhere, so i transcribed them. i'm sure there are some mistakes with these, but it's better than nothing.
Bonne, I'd have to agree with your lyrics, however, I think ELMO was right with "sleeping it away" you can hear the w in it if you listen real close....I think? Regardless, brilliant band.
'Your pretty face is soaked in blood'
Kind of lyrics that moves me
thanks bonne, i'll alter them!
Brilliant band, indeed.
Beautiful song.
As far as meaning goes, http://www.readbuzz.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticlePrinterFriendly&uStory_id=f1743b15-d146-4abb-bd7e-a7d96eb35938 "'It sort of sounds like it's a metaphor but I think that's kind of dumb,' he said. 'I mean, I really literally think of a house. Like, how that would make you feel. Seeing how all your things end up.'" Ehehe. Guess we can only draw from this song what the images resonate within us rather than an absolute meaning.
woops, slight fix
Doesn't have to hurt*
why don't you put up correct lyrics to all your songs, Will? ;o
oh, wow. thanks.
