Lyrical Analysis of...
Cody Number 76: "House Fire"
- Our neighbors house is burning down again
- Reminds me of the night you were crying for hours on end pressed up against my chest
- Too selfish to let go
- Too damn scared to be alone and face the fate I was left
- The house has a feel to it
- Watching it all come down makes me believe it will all be well again
- The heat is sweltering
- Filled with the kind of radiating guilt you felt inside while your smile is withering
- If I was a better man, New York is where you would've stayed
- I went ahead and showed up as more than a friend
- Should've left it well alone again
- Should've stopped when I told false lies and be promisin'
- Thought this night scorched the light but you're still smiling
- I don't know how but the illuminated ember seems to be listening
- Your gaze is glistening
- Now whispering
- There's something about the whole thing that's keeping you from leaving again
- Who am I kidding I can't do this thing
- What the hell made me think I was better than him
- When he left I was the only option for you
- I'm to be blamed for the things you were forced to do
- Pain was the only thing brought to you
- Then you gave birth to our Mary Sue
- So tell me darlin'
- Why the hell are tears running through you?
- Why the hell are tears running through you?
- So tell me darlin'
- Why are my tears fucking running through you?
- So tell me darlin'
- What am I supposed to do
- Let's cry alone together
- We're both held back by what could've been
- If I didn't came in
- You're not strong enough to be the one to leave
- So you thought you were clever
- To hide your tears and fears
- I like you
- You like me
- I love you, I hate us
- You love me, You hate us
- I love you, I hate us
- You love me, You hate us
- I love you, I hate us
- You love me, You hate us
- I love you, I hate us
- You love me, You hate us
- I love you, nothing can change that
- But I just don't know what to do
- Maybe we should start saying good morning again
- Go back to how it used to be when we slept heart to heart together never letting go
- Too damn stupid staying up late
- Always regretting it while we hurried to get ourselves set straight
- But house fires always have a way
- Our neighbors who made it out weren't insured now the have to deal with consequence
- Just the other day we were talking about the innocence in being positive
- I said "it was better in the opposites
- I don't concern myself in politics
- But nobody ever listens to the heart's singing "
- "Your wife the other day said the same thing
- I don't know why but her stares always seem to be reminiscing things
- As if she's picturing
- Family "
- "Maybe that's just how she is, don't think of her any differently "
- Who are we kidding, Emily, I'm just not the one for you
- After two hospital trips what made you think any different
- Somewhere along the line I thought it too
- Your smile at our wedding should've been my biggest clue
- Our cub was wearing baby shoes
- She's life for me and you
- So tell me darlin'
- What are we supposed to do?
- What are we supposed to do?
- What are we supposed to do?
- What are we supposed to do?
- What are we...
