House of Life

You always hear the stories how When you finally make it out Everything you wanted Still don't lift you up as high The crowds denies the lonely nights And when I turn down all these lights I can try my hardest but I stop feeling alive And I look forward to the day When the road I take is on the way And how my heart just lights up When those palm trees are in sight And when I pass up your hometown I'm 25 more miles out From being where my heart is in this little house of life Cause I can be a broken man Have no money in my hands Be who I am and love a hundred times And these are always better days Memories that will never fade Feeling like the richest man alive In this little house of life We dug our holes and thrown our stones Past the point of moving on But somehow in these walls we always seem to get it right And most of our friends they love the way We act and love so hard today But if they only knew how much and hard I made you cry The band is fire we're killing shows We worked so hard for this I know That I should be out shining in these lights And even though it's everything This old beat up heart remains Yearning for that peace I find inside In this little house of life Cause I can be a broken man Have no money in my hands Be who I am and love a hundred times And these are always better days Memories that will never fade Feeling like the richest man alive In this little house of life In this little house of life
