Arson Of The Heart lyrics

Can we keep this one dream safe? Can we count on growing old?
Can I stumble to your cottage and we`ll walk down to the shore?
Find some fire that`s cooled down and just hope the embers still can keep us warm
I`ve never been so free, I`ve never felt so safe
I`ve never felt so sure they`re gonna drag us both away


CHORUS 1
But in this valley of the shadow, while the whole world falls apart
We`ll be dancing in the fire of this arson of the heart
If my flame burns low, promise me you`ll guide me through the dark


VERSE 2
`Cause even now we dream of revolutions without blood
And I`m letting go the boy who was a tyrant with his love
`Cause the stakes are high and it feels like
He doesn`t have much time for growing up
But our dreams are tied to threads in hands of men who`ve never learned
Well those threads are one more item on our list of things to burn


CHORUS 2
So if you can bring the fuel you know I`m gonna bring the spark
No jury would convict us for this arson of the heart
If my flame burns low, promise me you`ll guide me through the dark


BRIDGE
In this cold and empty bed, on this lonely stretch of ice
I know I can`t change the world, but I thought that we just might
In the sickness of my head, in this selfish, fucked-up life
I know I can`t change the world, but I think that we just might


VERSE 3
Can we keep this one dream safe? Is there time for growing old?
Throw that fuel onto my heart, we`ll find our hope when it explodes


CHORUS 3
So, go on, try to build a cage for us, we`ll blow it clean apart
And we`ll melt down every shackle in this arson of the heart
If my fire burns low, sometime
