lyrics

I’ve been thinking of you again
I’ve been falling apart
I guess maybe the Earth must break
To shake you from my heart.

And sometimes there is a war to wage
and sometimes we should just run
there are things that you bury deep
they will come back to block out the sun
yeah, they’ll come back and block out the sun

la de de da come on call the last round
la de de da de de dee
la de de daw let’s go burn this place down
la de de da de de dee

I’ve been hoping the bible’s right
Bring on the flood and bring flame
I don’t care if the walls should fall
In the end none of this will remain
In the end none of this will remain

la de de da come on pour the last round
la de de da de de dee
la de de da I’m gonna this place down
la de de da de de dee

cause I’ve been thinking of you again
I’ve been a fool for so long
But don’t be so proud and don’t be so pleased
In the end all of this will be gone
In the end all of this will be gone

la de de da you know it’s the last round
la de de da de de dee
la de de da I’m gonna burn this place down
la de de da de de dee
