I had a dream about a burning house You were stuck inside I couldn't get you out I lay beside you and pulled you close And the two of us went up in smoke Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you Until this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking Been wondering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleepwalking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house I see you at a party and you look the same I could take you back But people don't really change Wish that we could go back in time I'd be the one you thought you'd find Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you Till this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking Been wondering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleepwalking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house Flames are getting bigger now In this burning house I can hold on to you somehow In this burning house Oh and I don't wanna wake up In this burning house And I been sleepwalking Been wandering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke And make it right I've been sleep walking Too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house
