Idiot Heart Lyrics by Sara Bareilles
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
And planted pretty wild flowers
And they bloomed into a new skin
And made garden of my broken parts
My body aches
Remembering your lifelines
Hands you 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
Thorns from 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
