Honey, the House Is Burning
TitanChord
Smoke in the hallway.
Put the record back on.
Verse 1
Wallpaper curling like a hand goodbye
Kitchen's an orange I can't deny
Bank took the deed, the match took the rest
Last thing standing is the beat in my chest
I'm not gonna stand here and watch it fall
So I cranked the speaker up against the wall
Honey grab my collar, never mind the door
We never danced enough when there was a floor
Pre-Chorus
Heat on the glass
Don't look back
Best room left
Is the one we crack
Chorus
Honey, the house is burning
So move like the floor's already gone
We can't save a single board, so let it light the song
We'll dance until the roof forgets to stay
Verse 2
Photos going up like a deck of cards
Wedding frame curling in the back yard
I should feel something more than this drum
But the body wants to move before the numb
Sirens doing seventy down the lane
Too late to be sorry, too dumb to be sane
So we spin in the heat with the windows lit
You only get one house to lose like this
Pre-Chorus
Heat on the glass
Don't look back
Best room left
Is the one we crack
Chorus
Honey, the house is burning
So move like the floor's already gone
We can't save a single board, so let it light the song
We'll dance until the roof forgets to stay
Bridge
There's a half-second the smoke goes still
and you choose if you scream or you stand and feel
I chose the snare, I chose her waist
Some houses you don't grieve, you celebrate
Honey, the house is burning
So move like the floor's already gone
We can't save a single board, so let it light the song
We'll dance until the roof forgets to stay
Outro
Till the roof forgets to stay
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.
