White picket fence, a quiet street
Faithful wife of fifteen years, mother of three
I go to church, I say my prayers
But I have never felt the breath of God in there
I followed every rule and played it safe
And I built myself a beautiful cage
The coffee's hot, the kids asleep
This is the only time I feel like I can breathe
But late last night I locked the door
And cried myself to sleep on the bathroom floor
'Cause I lit a match and held it to my yearning
And found out I was a house already burning
I'm on the edge of something wild
On the edge of something free
On the edge of something reckless
I get down on my knees
If you don't recognise me when I come back around
It's 'cause all the things I thought I'd be
I let 'em all burn to the ground
I let 'em burn, I let 'em burn
I never dreamed I'd start this war
When I was young I was so innocent and sure
I was afraid to be alone
So I wrote every vow with loyalty in stone
Is this the life I want for my own daughter?
Just trying to keep her head above the water
What if desire is a gift and not a sin?
What if this could be the start and not the end?
I'm on the edge of something wild
On the edge of something free
On the edge of something reckless
I get down on my knees
If you don't recognise me when I come back around
It's 'cause all the things I thought I'd be
Yes all the things I swore I'd be
I let 'em all burn to the ground
I let 'em burn, I let 'em burn
I let 'em burn, burn, burn
