The Fire Song Lyrics
brit was right when she said we should worry the
boys outside ran in a hurry
mom held tight to the ground
it was made of grass
then the house burnt down so fast
school at night led to hands filled of blurry the
games of pride were storm-like in their
fury i had made light of being picked last
as the house burnt down so fast
and as you pry
i thought that i forgotten
as you pry
i thought that i forgotten
graced all the papers
story of the neighbors
the house burnt down so fast
late to wake and office
explaining to the bosses
the house burnt down the past
to keep the peace and fix the place
you stayed in hotels
to keep a piece and stay safe
i went to victoria
well you stayed in hotels
you stayed in hotels
why i ran away ill never know
why i ran away ill never know
why i ran away ill never know
never ever know
never ever know
boys outside ran in a hurry
mom held tight to the ground
it was made of grass
then the house burnt down so fast
games of pride were storm-like in their
fury i had made light of being picked last
as the house burnt down so fast
i thought that i forgotten
as you pry
i thought that i forgotten
story of the neighbors
the house burnt down so fast
late to wake and office
explaining to the bosses
the house burnt down the past
you stayed in hotels
to keep a piece and stay safe
i went to victoria
why i ran away ill never know
why i ran away ill never know
never ever know

I read in an interview with either Marc or Genevieve that this song was a dream that she had about her parents divorce and the subsequent break-up of her family. Makes sense. It makes some of the lines terribly sad.
i think it's actually "heads filled with blurry".
The acoustic version with a string section on the Bonus Tracks of Ordinary Riches is AGH AMAZING.
I am so in love with this song today lol :)
I was at a bar where they were playing and she talked a little about the meaning of this song beforehand.
When Genevieve was young her house burned down and ever since that day she's felt her concept of 'home' changed. The song is about how home can mean wherever you are at the time.
