This House

This house is a story Everything falls apart All the things that need fixing A tattered dog in the yard Trace the cracks in the walls Even empires fall You don't disappoint me Baby get back in the car ... Brown skin is more fragile Got a I'm Not who I once was Tell me there's nothing you'd change Don't you see You got the best of me I want to be happy I want to want you to stay Guess nothing's ever what we thought it would be If we had known that it would be so hard Couldn't see that far ... Don't be religious To tell me love is enough But when the waves come Will what we've built stand up
