I see the house burning down
The pillars, the porch and the roof
The curtains that light up the room
Right where they left you on that floor

So it comes and goes,
everyone will tell you so
The ceiling's falling down around your feet

Right where they left you,
right where they left you
Right where they left you
oh, right where they left you on that floor

It comes and goes
everyone will tell you so
The ceiling's falling down around your feet
I see it now, you're calling out...

I see the house burning down
And I won't let you leave
Yeah, I sit and watch from your street
The smoke's rising outside your room
Where you let the grass grow under your feet

Right where they left you,
right where I left you
Oh darling I love you, now
but this just might be
A feeling that just comes and goes,
don't say I didn't tell you so

I see it all come down around your feet
I see it now, you're calling out
But I can't let you leave
