Indigo Girls – make this house a home

well there’s something in us living

there’s something you should know

there was a time for us to fall

now it’s time to grow

but you know it’s not the way

that i intended it to be

crossing hearts and killing souls

and trying to get down to what’s real

all i ever wanted was to make this house a home

i let go of sinking sand won’t you help me find a stone

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

was to make this house a home

all i needed was your hand to hold

i spent so much time alone

i needed your direction

but we re-aligned my broken bones

well they’re running from a lifeless state

somehow we lost our hold

all we have with us is change

left over from what started out as gold

all i ever wanted was to make this house a home

i let go of sinking sand – won’t you help me find a stone

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

was to make this house a home

this is what i give to you

it’s flesh and blood

it’s body and soul

won’t you take what’s left of who i am

and try to see it whole

i’m holding you responsible for every word i say

if you feel the brokenness

won’t you try and look the other way

i never meant to be so low

i only wanted you to see

that time was healing someone else

but it’s tearing apart the very heart of me

this is what i give to you

it’s flesh and blood

it’s body and soul

won’t you take what’s left of who i am

and try to see it whole

all i ever wanted was to make this house a home

i let go of sinking sand – won’t you help me find a stone

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

all i ever wanted

was to make this house a home

so make this house a home

make this house a home

make this house a home
