Mary Chapin Carpenter - House Of Cards |
[00:08.66] |
I grew up in a house like this |
[00:11.60] |
|
[00:12.72] |
You knew the groan of every stair |
[00:14.90] |
|
[00:15.66] |
All the walls seemed to listen in |
[00:18.40] |
|
[00:19.16] |
All the years seemed to take up air |
[00:22.03] |
|
[00:22.90] |
And when you dreamed it was of the wind blowing cold and hard |
[00:28.28] |
|
[00:29.77] |
And in those dreams you thought you lived in a house of cards |
[00:36.96] |
|
[00:42.15] |
And I grew up in a town like this |
[00:44.96] |
|
[00:46.02] |
You knew the names of every street |
[00:48.28] |
|
[00:49.09] |
On the surface it looked so safe |
[00:51.96] |
|
[00:52.77] |
But it was perilous underneath |
[00:55.53] |
|
[00:56.15] |
Thats the place where you shoved your doubts |
[00:59.15] |
|
[00:59.84] |
and hid your ugly scars |
[01:01.97] |
|
[01:03.27] |
God forbid if word got out about your house of cards |
[01:09.83] |
|
[01:12.33] |
And now I feel the wind about to blow |
[01:15.71] |
|
[01:16.27] |
Baby Im so scared |
[01:18.40] |
|
[01:19.28] |
Were repeating the past instead of letting it go |
[01:22.65] |
|
[01:23.27] |
And I dont want to go back there |
[01:27.90] |
|
[02:03.46] |
Now were standing here face to face |
[02:06.09] |
|
[02:06.89] |
Afraid to move or else |
[02:09.52] |
|
[02:10.27] |
I want to prop up this fragile place |
[02:13.21] |
|
[02:13.78] |
But I cant do it all by myself |
[02:16.71] |
|
[02:17.40] |
Cause when we dream its of the wind blowing cold and hard |
[02:23.33] |
|
[02:24.33] |
And when we wake up we still live in a house of cards |
[02:30.40] |
|
[02:31.34] |
When we dream its of the wind blowing cold and hard |
[02:37.02] |
|
[02:38.46] |
And when we wake up we still live in a house of cards |
