Burning Down The House
Walk the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight, wait 'till the party's over
Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
All wet, hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
My house is out of the ordinary
That's right, don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place, sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work said, "Baby what did you except?"
Gonna burst into flame, go ahead
Burning down the house
Burning down the house

This is probably one of the better covers I've heard, being that it's live is even more impressive. They stayed true to the song when so many don't in covers. I'd like to hear them cut it in the studio.
Summer Adan
I know this is a little different than their usual sound, but they should produce originals with this kind of vibe. Nick has an incredible power behind his voice that we never get to hear the full extent of. The band as a whole is underrated, but he's even more so as a vocalist. Someone with as much range, clarity and strength as he has in his voice is extremely rare
William Pierce
I've never heard him sing like that. That was awesome!
Dovah Spy
Neither have I, though I don't know who any of these people are.

I love this band so much, its honestly heart breaking to know that they don't have the big fan base they deserve.
Samantha McGuire
I kind of don't want them to tho bc then merch and concert tickets will get more expensive. 😂 I saw them live last month and this was before shut up and dance was popular. Now all that's anyone ever talks about. I used to love being able to enjoy it by myself 😂 oh well they deserve it

Kalysta Jeffrey well now they are really getting famous with shut up and dance
Mojo Stone
Give them time, they are getting the job! Most musicians are rude, arrogant, self centered, or flakey. The world doesn’t need another plastic Diva ! This band emits a positive attitude. Which is very rare nowadays. Taylor Swift has new company in the nice and likable musician club.
