What’s it gonna take to wake us up
would it be the sound of a fire truck
or are we too far gone to hear anything at all
I walk into the room and watch you leave
On every little thing we disagree
We’re like ghosts passing each other down the hall

if we had a fire, is there anything you’d save
would you let it go up in flames
turn your back and walk away
if we had a fire, would we both suddenly see
what matters most to you and me 
when love burns down to the wire
if we had a fire

would you try to rescue our past
run back in for the photographs
the way we danced in the video, 
on the day we wed 
all the love letters we once wrote
would you let them all go up in smoke 
blame it on the tears in your eyes 
and the heat from the burning bed

chorus

should I strike a match and let it burn
is that the only way we’ll learn

chorus
