House in the Hills Lyrics

I've built a house in the hills of

What could've been

A house where I stay

To stare out at the lake

And drown in all

My disappointment

I've built a house in the hills of

What could've been

A house where the trees

Stay up weeping with me

I've been crying

When I should be sleeping

But the wind asks

Are you ready to tear it down

Are you ready

To get out of this sad town

Are you ready to tear it down

Just give me one more night

To hold on tight

To my house in the hills

Of what could've been

My house in the hills

Of what could've been

I've built a house in the hills of

What could've been

I am well aware

That it's lonelier here

And there are pretty places

To be staying in

I've built a house in the hills of

What could've been

A place where

Poison ivy grows

But it's somewhere that I know

I can go to when my world is crumbling

Am I ready to tear it down

Am I ready

To get out of this sad town

Am I ready to tear it down

Just give me one more night

To hold on tight

To my house in the hills

Of what could've been

I live a stone's throw

From growing old

With walls too tall

To climb them

My fire inside

Gets cold at night

Now I'm up with the moonlight wondering

I live a stone's throw

From growing old

With walls too tall

To climb them

My fire inside

Gets cold at night

Now I'm up with the moonlight wondering

Am I ready to tear it down

Am I ready

To get out of this sad town

Am I ready to tear it down

Just give me one more night

To hold on tight

To my house in the hills

Of what could've been

My house in the hills

Of what could've been
