Lyrics
Your House
Your house it stands tall and proud on the street
The others are small in comparison
The grass it grows lush like the mustache you wear
And the leaves turn as gold as the gold in your hair
You started your house about a few years ago
When I wished to be more than just some girl you know
You dreamed of the beams that would anchor the walls
And I dreamed about the nights when we'd dance through the halls
So it took me awhile to find me again
After all your house it meant everything then
Yes, it took me awhile to find me again
After all your house it was all I was then
Your house it went up like a jet in the night
And I stood there still in amazement
And watched from the dock as the dust filled the air
As you pounded on those planks with a hammer and nail
And just when I thought it was time to move in
Your house closed up with a chill from the wind
The blond at the door said you'd gone to the gym
And I just there like a jerk in the dirt looking in
Chorus
Your Dad says your house it may finally be done
Since you added that room with the spa just for fun
And a steel set of stairs that took a lift and a crane
And 30 some men just to get it through the frame
The stairs in your house they lead up to that room
Where you sit all alone by the light of the moon
And stare at the beams that now anchor the walls
And wish I were with you to dance through the halls
Well it took you awhile to find me again
After all your house it meant everything then
Yes, it took you awhile to find me again
After all your house it was all you were then
It took you awhile to find me again
After all your house it was all you were then
Your House it stands tall and proud on the street
The others are small in comparison
