Clare Siobhan - I Built a House With an Arsonist

I built a house with an arsonist
Who I shouldn't have given the key
When it all burnt down
I knew it was partly on me

Oh, I built a house with an arsonist
And I let him pick out the rugs
They went up so fast
Somehow I was aghast
When I met him, he seemed nice enough

Oh, I'm gonna live at the bottom of the ocean
I'm gonna walk to the depths of the sea
Sick of surprises, the water, it rises
Do I have it coming to me?

Oh, I'm gonna live at the bottom of the ocean
I'm gonna walk to the depths of the sea
Sick of surprises, the water, it rises
Do I have it coming to me?

And I planted a garden with a family of deer
And I should've put up a fence
Couldn't resist the temptation of freshly bloomed tulips
I should've known; it's common sense

And I planted a garden with a family of deer
And I thought they might be what they're not
But things, they don't change
Just for my wishful thinking
I try to remember -
I guess I forgot

Oh, I'm gonna live at the bottom of the ocean
I'm gonna walk to the depths of the sea
Sick of surprises, the water, it rises
Do I have it coming to me?

Coming to me - oh
I'm gonna live at the bottom of the ocean
I'm gonna walk to the depths of the sea
Sick of surprises, the water, it rises
Do I have it coming to me?

Coming to me, to me
Coming to me
Do I have it coming to me?

And the man, he burns houses for a living
And the deer, the deer will be forgiven
But so will the guy
Who just burned my house down
Even though he had said
He'd stick around

And the man, he burns houses for a living
And the deer, the deer will be forgiven
But so will the guy
Who set fire to my life
And I watched it all come down

But I'll do it again
I know I'll do it again
They say fools never learn
But quitters never win
If at first you don't succeed
Don't look back: go all in
I'll do it again
