House on fire (ghost note symphonies)

I can see the storms, in her eyes now
I'm falling overboard, in the waves
In over my head and she's a high tide
That keeps pushing me away
I thought that we would build this together
But everything I touch just seems to break
Am I your sail or your anchor?
Am I the calm or the hurricane?
I feel the ground start to shake
I hear a voice shouting, "Move!"
But there is no fucking way I'd leave you

So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
You touch me like a razor blade
I wish there was some other way right now
Like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
To let you know I won't let go of you

But is the soundtrack to our lives
The bang of a slamming door?
What happens when we all start to feel like
Nothing matters anymore?
Every day like a chambered round
A trigger pulled, a hammer click
A breath we hold, a world outside I can't control
No matter what I do

So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
You touch me like a razor blade
I wish there was some other way right now
Like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
To let you know I won't let go of you

And how is it a thing?
That we just wanna hurt each other
I'm waiting on for rain
Feels like is gonna rain forever
Someday you will learn
That all I ever did was for you
And I would do it all again
I would do it all again

'Til then I'll hold you like a hand grenade
You touch me like a razor blade
I wish there was some other way right now
Like a house on fire we're wrapped in flames
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
To let you know I can't let go of you
Of you, of you, of you, of you
