Lyrics Building A Home - This Day & Age

Building A Home

We live on a lake
And sometimes there are waves;
I guess that explains why we’ve been led astray
Because if the west is what we need
You can bet we’ll be heading east
We’re so easily distracted by the slightest breeze
When there’s too many roads
And far too many shows;
All these empty highs become too many lows
We walk through crowded streets
To be by ourselves;
screaming for help…
I won’t wait to hear them say
«You were wrong all along.»
We’ve been drowning, and we’ve been doubting;
I think it’s time for a change…
We’re building a home
But it’s not made of stone;
A place where we can go to find a lasting hope
With our anxious pace
Life’s like an endless chase;
Where we don’t know who’s after us
But we run anyways…
We almost left without saying goodbye
