Church on fire

Two by two, they came into that sunlit room
The only church in this town
The only town that I ever knew

I sat in the back row, next to the open door
So I could feel the breeze on my skin
And know that there's something more than just this

I saw her walking down Bellmont Avenue

And from the back window of father's my car
You waved at me and waved I at you

We kissed after years of waiting
Years of holding hands

And I felt something shift inside my soul
That no man could understand

I burn like a church on fire

In the light of the afternoon
I hope you can feel my desire

'Cause these flames rise for you

One by one, I went through all the things I've done

To get to this place I stand
Where I look down and I don't recognize my own hands

I wrote you a letter for every day that I was away

But how many words does one man need to say what he needs to say

I burn like a church on fire

In the light of the afternoon
I hope you can feel my desire

'Cause these flames rise for you

Yeah, that was me
I poured the gasoline

I lit the match for everyone to see
The fireworks in my heart

Yeah, that was me
I burned it to the ground
Yeah, that was me
I burned it all down
I burned this to the ground
that has Everything let us down
Everything that has let us down

One by one, I went through all the things I've done
