Burning House

I’ve never been one to keep up with new songs being released. I’m one of those people that can listen to certain songs just one time and they stick, I feel connected  to the song.  Sometimes I can’t figure out why I gravitate to a particular song; but when I do, it hits home and makes perfect sense. 

I believe that I’m like most, I love music; several types. The playlist on my phone is what I’d like to call bi-polar.  

The first time that I listened to ‘Burning House’ by Cam, I felt immediately connected to it. I listened over & over but just could not place ‘why’ it hit home.

One day, a few weeks after my sisters funeral, I was on the road, for work, this song came on, I felt this overwhelming sense of anxiety come over me, tears welled up in my eyes. I understood now why this song had such a hold on me.

My Sisters Addiction had trapped her inside of a Burning House; I couldn’t get her out.

Every time I listen to this song I hold my sister close, and remind her that I wanted to get her out, but I couldn’t.  By listening to this song; it will help you understand why I feel this way when I hear this song. I relate it to “Addiction”

I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside
I couldn’t get you out
I lay beside you and pulled you close
And the two of us went up in smoke

Love isn’t all that it seems
I did you wrong
I’ll stay here with you
Until this dream is gone

I’ve been sleepwalking
Been wondering all night
Trying to take what’s lost and broke
And make it right
I’ve been sleepwalking
Too close to the fire
But it’s the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house

I see you at a party and you look the same
I could take you back
But people don’t really change
Wish that we could go back in time
I’d be the one you thought you’d find

Love isn’t all that it seems
I did you wrong
I’ll stay here with you
Till this dream is gone

I’ve been sleepwalking
Been wondering…
