Tear Down the House |
Tear down the house that I grew up in. |
I’ll never be the same again. |
Take everything that I’ve collected, |
and throw it in a pile. |
Bulldoze the woods that I ran through. |
Carry the pictures of me and you. |
I have no memory of who I once was, |
and I don’t remember your name. |
Park the old car that I love the best. |
Inspection’s due and it won’t pass the test. |
It’s funny how I have to put it to rest, |
and how one day I will join it. |
I remember crying over you, |
and I don’t mean like a couple of tears and I’m blue. |
I’m talking about collapsing and screaming at the moon, |
but I’m a better man for having gone through it. |
Yes, I’m a better man for having gone through. |
Ever since I learned how to curse. |
I’ve been using those sorry old words. |
But I’m talking to these children and I’m keeping it clean. |
I don’t need those words to say what I mean. |
No, I don’t need those words to say what I mean |
Tear down the house that I grew up in. |
I’ll never be the same again. |
Take everything that I used to own, |
and burn it in a pile |
Bulldoze the woods that I ran through. |
Carry the pictures of me and you. |
I have no memory of who I once was, |
and I don’t remember your name. |
