[Verse 1]
Elementary eavesdropper
There are things you cannot comprehend
Did you want a kiss
Did you want a flower in your fist?
Or was it all just make pretend?
[Refrain 1]
I’ll follow you until the end
I’ll follow
[Chorus]
Burning down your home (burning down)
Just to rebuild it again (burning down)
I will never steal from you (burning down)
Or any of your friends (burning down)
[Verse 2]
Adolescent eavesdropper
There are things you wish you could forget
So you start to weep and
You start to drink yourself to sleep
And you only kiss your cigarette
[Refrain 2]
But don’t we all feel sick to death
Or do we?
[Chorus]
Burning down your home (burning down)
Just to rebuild it again (burning down)
I will never steal from you (burning down)
Or any of your friends (burning down)
[Post-Chorus]
You shower me with gifts
They don’t fix it, no
I’m no purchase bastard
Fuck you, tell me right now
[Bridge]
If you find me on the offensive
For the first time help out
Tell me, tell me right now
Are you happy and how can you be?
Are you happy with me?
[Verse 3]
You’re an adult eavesdropper
And by now the roles have been reversed
And you inflict the shit you hated as a kid
There is only one way to break this curse
[Chorus]
Burning down your home (burning down)
Just to rebuild it again (burning down)
I will never steal from you (burning down)
Or any of your friends (burning down)
