Arson

Windows open, smoke in our hair
Keys to rooms that were never there
I learned your name in the dark of a hall
You learned mine by the way I fall

Say it slow
Say it once
Hands don't shake
We don't run

Call it arson
Call it faith
Matchstick halo, hungry flame
Memories all taste the same
Stand real close, don't look away
Swear to what the fire saves

Letters burn inside the flames
I remember the month, but not the day
Every future demands a cost
Every exit charges a toll

Say it now
Touch my face
Leave a heat
I can place

Call it arson
Call it faith
Broken sky, erase our pain
Burn what history remains
Stand real close, don't look away
Swear to what the fire saves

Burn it clean
Burn it slow
What it takes
We let go

The house burns quiet, hot, and white
Newfound freedom begins tonight
If something follows us from here
Let it be what we hold dear

Call it arson
Say it straight
Ash falls soft, a second skin
We breathe it out, we breathe it in
Hold me close, don't look away
We are what the fire saved

Morning whispers through the embers
New light breaks where the walls gave way
We walk out weightless, hands still warm
Carrying what stayed...
Carrying what stayed...
Carrying what stayed...
