Building A Home - This Day & Age

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
