Pearl, listen to me now   I'm about to bring it down   Here are things I need to tell you   That can't wait   I've been doubting in my sleep   There are secrets I keep   Maybe in the end I'll find a way to stay   Pearl, it don't feel that way today      It wasn't long ago, I was down upon my knees   Begging you to change your mind again   You were tired of trying to love me   You had put yourself above me   Tried to leave but, Pearl, I don't let go   That is until tonight, now I know      There's a world outside our window   There's the mystery of desire   I could wait to make you happen   I could set this house on fire      Listen, now   I'm about to bring it down   Are we meant to be, I'll ask again   As I wait for your reply   Hear the traffic passing by   Tomorrow I'll be far away from here   Pearl, I'll be far away from here      Through the world outside my window   Though you're all that I desire   I couldn't make you happen   So I set this house on fire
