Lyrics
Building a Home
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We live on a lake, and sometimes there are waves;
I guess that explains why we've been led astray.
if the west is what we need, you can bet we'll be heading east.
We're so easily distracted by the slightest breeze.
When there's too many roads, and far too many shows;
ll these empty highs become too many lows.
We walk through crowded streets to be by ourselves; screaming for help...
I won't wait to hear them say, "You were wrong all along."
We've been drowning, and we've been doubting;
I think it's time for a change...
We're building a home, but it's not made of stone;
a place where we can go to find a lasting hope.
With our anxious pace, life's like an endless chase;
We walk through crowded streets to be by ourselves; screaming for help...
(2x)
I won't wait to hear them say, "You were wrong all along."
We've been drowning, and we've been doubting;
I think it's time for a change...
(4x)
We almost left without saying goodbye.
(4x)
(We almost left without saying goodbye.)
