lyrics

I believe its gonna be a good year
Sipping on that bubbly, and singing Auld Lang Syne
I Promised I’d be on my best behavior
But sometimes clothes are in the lawn and there’s fireworks inside
After all the flames are out you’re next to me, next to me..

No we’ll never need a lighter
You and I get on like a house on fire, living on gasoline
Baby, baby, ride with me
No I never knew another
To burn me like I like it, like a house on fire
Pyro in a pink tee roaring in the twenties
Baby, baby, ride with me

Come inside and we can find a new game
Kitchen drawer down on the left, on the left
Underneath the batteries, rubber bands, orphan keys
A half used match book that I got from some crummy old hotel
(I think I know where this is going)
No one knows we’re going
(Please don’t spoil the ending for me)
No one knows I’ve been through
Stop, drop, where you rolling?
If you go crazy, I’ll go too
That’s where I’m going
You make the old seem new again, new again

No we’ll never need a lighter
You and I get on like a house on fire, living on gasoline
Baby, baby, ride with me
No I never knew another
To burn me like I like it, like a house on fire
Pyro in a pink tee roaring in the twenties
Baby, baby, ride with me
