Текст песни Switchfoot - If The House Burns Down Tonight

Artist: Switchfoot
Album: Where The Light Shines Through
Song: If The House Burns Down Tonight

Key: 

Ashes from the flames
The truth is what remains
The truth is what you save from the fire
And you fight for what you love
Don't matter if it hurts
You find out what it's worth
And you let the rest burn

The sunset burns like gasoline
Touch me and make sure that I'm not dreaming
I see her face and my heart skips beats 
But I still get the feeling that we're half asleep and
There's a spark in the corner of my baby's eye 
Like a distant star that won't burn quiet
And I might not know what I want from this life 
But I know I want more than the starting line
                   N..
So give me the fire; yeah, give me the fire

I can hear the motor running down the interstate 
And all the distractions fade away
And if the house burns down tonight
I got everything I need with you by my side
I see the smoke piling up in the rear view mirror
Yeah but I ain't ever seen it any clearer 
If the house burns down tonight
I got everything I need when I got you by my side
And let the rest burn 
And let the rest burn 
And let the rest burn 

I've given too much of my heart away 
My soul's holding on like a house divided
Like a match it burns down like a masquerade 
And I had to let it go when the fire ignited
One heart, two hands, your life is all you hold
To hold, hold tight and let the bitter go
            N..
Yeah let it go, and give me the fire

The smoke tries choking the pacific sun
We rocket down the road like we're shot out of guns
And if the house burns down tonight
I got everything I need with you by my side
Holding you and the wheel and it occurs to me 
We're driving down the edge of eternity 
And if the house burns down tonight
I got everything I need when I got you by my side
And let the rest burn 
                             -  -         -  - 
And let the rest burn

                                            -  - 
Put your hand in mine and put your heart in dri - ving
                                                  -  - 
We got everything we need yeah, we got everything we need yeah
                                         -  - 
Left it all behind us, what we need will find us
                                                  -  - 
We got everything we need yeah, we got everything we need yeah
Can you hear that motor running, can you hear that motor running
                                               -  - 
There ain't no stopping us now, there ain't no slowing us down
Can you hear that motor running
                                 N..
Can you hear that motor run, run, run

And all those lies that mattered most to me
Were draining me dry making a ghost of me
And if the house burns down tonight
I got everything I need, everything I need 
There's a fire coming that we all will go through
You possess your possessions or they possess you
And if the house burns down tonight
I got everything I need when I got you by my side
And let the rest burn

Ashes from the flames, the truth is what remains
