Can we keep this one dream safe? Can we count on growing old?
Can I stumble to your cottage and we'll walk down to the shore?
Find some fire that's cooled down and just hope the embers still can keep us warm
I've never been so free, I've never felt so safe
I've never felt so sure they're gonna drag us both away
CHORUS 1
But in this valley of the shadow, while the whole world falls apart
We'll be dancing in the fire of this arson of the heart
If my flame burns low, promise me you'll guide me through the dark
VERSE 2
'Cause even now we dream of revolutions without blood
And I'm letting go the boy who was a tyrant with his love
'Cause the stakes are high and it feels like
He doesn't have much time for growing up
But our dreams are tied to threads in hands of men who've never learned
Well those threads are one more item on our list of things to burn
CHORUS 2
So if you can bring the fuel you know I'm gonna bring the spark
No jury would convict us for this arson of the heart
If my flame burns low, promise me you'll guide me through the dark
BRIDGE
In this cold and empty bed, on this lonely stretch of ice
I know I can't change the world, but I thought that we just might
In the sickness of my head, in this selfish, f*cked-up life
I know I can't change the world, but I think that we just might
VERSE 3
Can we keep this one dream safe? Is there time for growing old?
Throw that fuel onto my heart, we'll find our hope when it explodes
CHORUS 3
So, go on, try to build a cage for us, we'll blow it clean apart
And we'll melt down every shackle in this arson of the heart
If my fire burns low, sometime
