Every House We Built Songtext
von Exploring Birdsong

In another world, where the stars don′t align
Would you cut me loose and separate your heart from this design?
In another life, where the planets won't arrange
Would you call me up and say the same things you said once again?

′Cause I fumble and I dig myself a hole
But I feel your beating heart with mine, no matter where I go
And I crumbled when you stepped to walk away
With your feet in sands of time that echo back to yesterday

If this was never real and the agony subsides
Would you let me cry for help or be the remedy I desire?
And all I'll ever feel is a pressure on my hips
Anchored down by the weight of the words
That passed right through your lips


When you stumbled, you were hanging up the phone
And the silence you were met with cut you right down to the bone
'Cause I′m tired and I haven′t slept in days
But my pride will make me hold my breath from begging you to stay

And I'm losing the battle and the war
The sharpness of your words was enough to cut down to my core
′Cause I'm weary and I′m lost for what to say
'Cause my armor broke to bear my skin and bones along the way

Would you end this if I was always me?
If I never gave you love so strong, you′d forgotten how to feel
Am I worthy of dragging you along
Convincing you to stay right here even if I don't belong?

Is it worthless? The time I spent alone
Building my foundations into something you'd call home?
This is pointless, and it′s in vain
I′ve thrown away my existence, I'm just circling the drain


′Cause I wander, and now I walk alone
I live in every house we built but still can't find my home
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(It′s everywhere, it's everywhere, it′s everywhere, it's everywhere)
(It's ev-, it′s ev-, it′s ev-, it's ev-, it′s ev-, it's ev-)
