Paroles de The House Under The Hill

Well, I'm the same kid I was

Out in the schoolyard

Hallowed my pockets with sticks
From the parking lot

Alone



Though I walked alone

I was sure there was somebody

There on my shoulder, quietly guiding me

Home



I counted to 1000, 2000, and even

Math game and nicknames for friends
And so gracefully we age into infinity

On



There is a house under a hill

With no windows, with no doors

And everything I've ever lost is there

Between the boards and beams

Oh, old friendships

Old virginity

A younger little ghost of me

Together, they are celebrating

All the time they've gained:

"Tonight, again, we celebrate

another tiny gain!"



Alone, I am nameless

And fearless and faceless

I see just my knees

And two hands held in front of me

Mine for this lifetime

So kindly I'll treat them

My blood pumps

My lungs bellow

So I will let them be



Ah...
