[Verse 1] You said it like a joke Like a match in your teeth I watched the smoke write circles Over your easy grin If the floor starts shaking I know your hand will stay Right there in mine, unblinking As the sirens fade away [Pre-Chorus] So take my pulse Take my name If the sky comes apart I’m already staying [Chorus] Let’s watch it burn down Let’s watch it burn down Hold me close in the red glow Let the whole roof fall now Let’s watch it burn down Let’s watch it burn down If the world goes to pieces Baby, we go first now [Verse 2] Your jacket on the chair My shoes by the door Half a bowl of cherries Spilled across the floor The glass in the sink Keeps catching your face Like even ruined things Still know your shape [Pre-Chorus] So take my hand Take the blame If the night comes alive I’m already changed [Chorus] Let’s watch it burn down Let’s watch it burn down Hold me close in the red glow Let the whole roof fall now Let’s watch it burn down Let’s watch it burn down If the world goes to pieces Baby, we go first now [Bridge] When the smoke gets low And the ash turns white I’ll still hear your laugh In the heat tonight If the last light breaks On your stubborn mouth I’ll say one more time Don’t you let go now [Final Chorus] Let’s watch it burn down Let’s watch it burn down Hold me close in the red glow Let the whole roof fall now Let’s watch it burn down Let’s watch it burn down If the world goes to pieces Baby, we go first now
