Burning House Lyrics

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 wandering all night
Tryna 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 ever 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
'Til this dream is gone

I've been sleepwalking
Been wandering all night
Tryna 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
Tryna 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

What is the Meaning of Burning House?

This poignant ballad paints a vivid picture of regret and longing. The burning house serves as a metaphor for a past relationship that has ended disastrously, yet the protagonist can't let go. Despite acknowledging her mistakes ("I did you wrong") and understanding that people don't change, she is trapped in the 'burning house' of her memories and dreams. She yearns to correct what's lost and broken, but realizes it's an impossible task - much like rescuing someone from a burning house. This internal struggle is further emphasized by her sleepwalking state, symbolizing her inability to move forward. The song encapsulates the pain of clinging onto something destructive because letting go feels even more unbearable.
