House on Fire

Lyrics

You should have been there, man she gave it back Your daughter still cries at the drop of a hat Now for arguments sake let's just change with the wind And eat till we're sick round your table talk shit I'm still the kid that keeps you on edge I'll make you laugh with my eyes while I lean on the bench Coffee so late I hate the sleep what's the point You should have been there tonight, we all miss your voice I talk to the sky, but I'm not sold All for a gravestone, these babies grow old I hope there's a place, like all the books say Where we're gonna sit like tonight and we'll stay, that way She said why couldn't wine turn 100 you know? I'm stuck here to watch the clock all alone I don't know what to say I'll just kick it along The garden up there must need somebody strong There's faces you know and then some you don't If you heard 'em talk man, you wouldn't cope They're a house on fire, they're a party for two I wish that you'd met when you felt like you used to I talk to the sky, but I'm not sold All for a gravestone, these babies grow old I hope there's a place, like all the books say Where we're gonna sit like tonight and we'll stay, that way Why do I feel like you're in me on stage, shaking around Like my body's your cage You're loading the words at the back of my head while I'm cocked like a shotgun eyes locked on the end A transient night, nothing here to report, except all of life's meaning, just echoed down the hall You should have been there tonight, it was everything you liked I talk to the sky, but I'm not sold All for a gravestone, these babies grow old I hope there's a place, like all the books say Where we're gonna sit like tonight and we'll stay, that way
