I built a house
Upon the hill
All my love's inside
I run around
One day you will
Come down
In a slide
Everything looks better in my dream
Nine pounds' heavier than it seems
So take me back Minnesota in the snow
I turn my back and try to make it home
Clearly I've
No hammer to hold
You keep a light
And burn both ends
I live inside my mind
And you were right
I was wrong again
What will they say when I die
Everything looks better in my head
Nine pounds' heavier than they said
So take me back to Minnesota in the snow
I turn my back and try to make it home
Clearly I've
No hammer to hold
So watch my back with mercy as I go
Cause I'm attacked
By this burning afterglow
I bulit a house
Upon a hill
All my love's inside
