We'll Buy a House

Oh

How did it come to this?

Not easy to dismiss

I'm always told

That you gotta cling to hope

Please

Tell me how it came to be?

Got a California dream

Only to see

That the lights fade easily

No

I'm surrounded by a world of no

Find it hard to breathe in slow

In and out

When you're riddled with doubt

Lost your job

And all you got

Is just a mattress on the floor

And not much more

And all you say is

"Babe

We'll buy a house someday."

"We'll buy a house someday."

Weave

In a knot of complexities

And shadows of uncertainty

An empty room

And the curtain's closing soon

But you

You always had a way to prove

That we were gonna make it through

Another night

See the morning in a new light

Find a job

Make do with what we got

"And luck was on the way,"

The hopeful say

We got too many scars

And keeping count is like numbering stars

I'm home wherever you are

When all is pulled away

Try so hard to disguise

And tell me "Everything is alright."

The rent's due in the night

Nowhere to go, but we can't stay

And all you say is

"Babe

We'll buy a house someday."

"We'll buy a house someday."

"We'll buy a house someday."
