Love Set Fire lyrics

Song information

Artist: Moxy Früvous
Album: You Will Go To The Moon

Lyrics

(Murray on lead)
Small paper cranes
And wallpaper stains
That the pictures can hardly conceal

Love letters bent
From tears that were spent
On a cruel and a shabby ideal

But love set fire
To everything
And the flames looked like
Angel's wings

We played our parts
With paper hearts
And love set fire
To everything

I know that it's wrong
To stay here this long
Haunted by all of her things

I found out too late
Only fools feel safe
In a house made of jokers and kings

But love set fire
To everything
And the flames looked like
Angel's wings

We played our parts
With paper hearts
(All)
And love set fire
To everything

(Accordion and string solo)

(Murray)
I've tried to escape her
And these bits of paper
But the memories I just can't outrun

So I'll keep lighting matches
And when one of them catches
This thing will finally
Be done

(All)
Love set fire
To everything
And the flames looked like
Angel's wings

We played our parts
With paper hearts
And love set fire
To everything
