BURNING HOUSE

[Verse 1]
We built this house
Brick by brick 
With our own hands
Wrote our names in the concrete 
Where we used to stand
But the storms rolled in 
And the sparks flew high
Now we sleep in silence 
Under smoke-filled skies

[Pre-Chorus]
Photographs melt 
On this mantle of doubt
Love’s last whispers 
Getting all choked out
We're holding on
But no longer to each other
Just to memories 
We try to bury under...

[Chorus]
This burning house
We can't pretend
That the flames aren't crawling 
Through every bend
We lit the fire 
With the lies we told
Watched the walls fall down
Hearts turn cold
And I don't know how to save us now
From this burning house

[Verse 2]
Curtains turn to ashes, dreams to dust
What we had’s now cracked and covered in rust
I hear you crying from the other side
But we're trapped by pride and too hurt to try

[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows dance on what used to be
The home we made, now a casualty
Of all the words we never said
And all the love we left for dead

[Chorus]
This burning house
We can't pretend
That the flames aren't crawling 
Through every bend
We lit the fire 
With the lies we told
Watched the walls fall down
Hearts turn cold
And I don't know how to save us now
From this burning house

[Bridge]
Do we run or do we fight?
Can we douse this pain with light?
Or are we just ghosts in the smoke
Hanging on to what’s already broke?

[Chorus]
This burning house
We can't pretend
That the flames aren't crawling 
Through every bend
We lit the fire 
With the lies we told
Watched the walls fall down
Hearts turn cold
And I don't know how to save us now
From this burning house.

[Outro]
So if you go, go fast, don’t look back
I’ll be the ember in the aftermath
Just another soul who tried to stay
In a burning house that gave way
To ash and fate
Burning House

BURNING HOUSE

SATURDAY MORNING

[Verse 1]
Sunlight sneaks through the curtains slow
Coffee’s on, and the radio’s low
Barefoot steps on a wooden floor
You’re dancing in my old t-shirt like before

No alarms, no place to be
Just you, just me, and a gentle breeze
The world can wait, let the silence stay
Let’s stretch this moment all the way

[Chorus]
It’s SATURDAY MORNING, and the world feels right
You're sipping your coffee in the softest light
No rush, no plans, just you in my arms
Wrapped in the calm and your sleepy charms
It’s not much — but it’s everything
This quiet little song we sing
On a SATURDAY MORNING

[Verse 2]
Pancakes cooking, dogs on the bed
Laughing 'bout something we both just said
A record spins like it always does
Playing our song — the one that still feels like us

Outside, the town’s starting to wake
But we’ve got dreams we’re not ready to shake
So pull me close, don’t let me go
Let's take it slow… real slow

[Chorus]
It’s SATURDAY MORNING, and we’re still us
Just a little more worn, a little more trust
No need for silver or shiny things
We’ve got all the gold in the peace love brings
Yeah, life can wait beyond this room
Let’s stay wrapped in this lazy tune
On a SATURDAY MORNING

[Bridge]
Time will pull at everything
But these are the days that make hearts sing
A kiss, a smile, a whisper low
"I’m still in love" — just so you know

[Final Chorus]
It’s SATURDAY MORNING, and I wouldn’t trade
This sunlight dance, this mess we made
Through all the storms, and all the rain
We always find our way back again
To this bed, this laugh, this little grace
This simple love in a quiet place
On a SATURDAY MORNING

[Outro]
Yeah... it’s just a Saturday
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
