Idiot Heart

You said your name
I built a house around it
Like an orphan's dream
Who's lived so long without one

I watch you laughing
Smile like a family album
We're barely more than strangers
And I'm already writing vows down

My idiot heart
Jump the gun, the siren's song is sweet when it starts
Lightning doesn't scare me, I can see in the dark
Go too far, my idiot heart

Idiot heart
Pouring gasoline all over every little spark
Love is like a flame, and I want arsonist art
Branded on my idiot heart

You kissed my scars
Planted pretty wild flowers
And they bloomed into a new skin
And made gardens of my broken parts

My body aches
Remembering your lifelines
Hands wrapped around me, dancing
Before you were the moonlight

My idiot heart
Jump the gun, the siren's song is sweet when it starts
Lightning doesn't scare me, I can see in the dark
Go too far, my idiot heart

Idiot heart
Pouring gasoline all over every little spark
Love is like a flame, and I want arsonist art
Branded on my idiot heart

Like thorns on a rose
And poetry from prose
There's wisdom we don't know
We already know

My idiot heart
Jump the gun, the siren's song is sweet when it starts
Lightning doesn't scare me, I can see in the dark
Go too far, my idiot heart

Idiot heart
Pouring gasoline all over every little spark
Love is like a flame, and I want arsonist art
Branded on my idiot heart
