Church On Fire Lyrics

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 my father's car
You waved at me and I waved 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 standCivil Twilight - Church On Fire - http://motolyrics.com/civil-twilight/church-on-fire-lyrics.html
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
Everything that has let us down
Everything that has let us down

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