Lyrics Burned Is The House - Alkaline Trio
It′s
like
we
both
had
just
arrived
here
Like
we
both
stepped
off
a
plane
in
a
new
town
And
the
sun
was
out
I
would
talk
and
you
would
point
your
ear
at
me
Like
I
was
making
some
sweet
sound
You
said
to
make
it
loud
But
we
can
never
come
back
here
again
We
can
only
hope
to
forget
Walked
through
a
cemetery
archway
To
a
wood
that
hummed
so
happily
along
But
the
words
were
all
wrong
You
traded
all
my
ill
affections
For
directions
to
a
party
across
town
You
bring
the
house
down
But
we
can
never
go
back
there
again
We
can
only
hope
So,
burned
is
the
house,
gone
is
the
street
Here
is
the
same
disappointing
retreat
And
I
need
it
like
hell,
if
I'd
lie
to
myself
To
think
I
could
live
that
life
over
again
When
the
cuts
were
like
guilt,
and
the
taste
for
your
eyes
I′d
say
we're
up
when
I
couldn't
just
say
goodnight
If
you′d
cry
me
a
river
you
could
baptize
me
in
I′d
say
I
guess
that's
it,
now
I′ve
fucking
seen
everything
You
were
the
first
real
choice
I
would
make
But
we
all
make
mistakes
Jumped
overboard
because
the
water's
always
greener
When
the
sun
shines
on
the
sea
Would
you
drown
for
me?
It′s
just
as
deep
as
you
can
make
it
You
tread
water
when
you
could
stand
on
your
knees
But
don't
pray
to
me
Cause
when
the
last
ray′s
taking
on
again
It
will
you
leave
you
dead
But,
but
burned
is
the
house,
gone
is
the
street
Here
is
the
same
disappointing
retreat
And
I
need
it
like
hell,
if
I'd
lie
to
myself
To
think
I
could
live
that
life
over
again
When
the
cuts
were
like
guilt,
and
the
taste
for
your
eyes
I'd
say
we′re
up
when
I
couldn′t
just
say
goodnight
If
you'd
cry
me
a
river
you
could
baptize
me
in
I′d
say
I
guess
that's
it,
now
I′ve
fucking
seen
everything
You
were
the
first
real
choice
I
would
make
But
we
all
make
mistakes,
oh
