HOUSE ON A HILL
If I had a house on a hill
I’d paint it blue and I’d keep it well
Pay no rent, pay no phone bill
I always say it, but I never will
I keep on saying that I never will
I have won and I have lost
I have been on the chopping block
I have had my signals crossed
I only love the things I’ve lost
I’ll never get back what I’ve lost
Tell me to go
To get out of your sight
I never thought I could be so uninspired
I can name the deadly sins
I can make the most of this
I can’t say why I hated him
I wouldn’t know where to begin
I never know where to begin
The city’s not what I had thought
There’s chewing gum on the sidewalks
Horizons look like jagged rocks
And I don’t know whose side I’m on
I never know whose side I’m on
I found a hill with a house on top
No zip code and no mail box
And I don’t need to keep it locked
Don’t need to pick whose side I’m on
Don’t need to pick whose side I’m on
Got a house that's right on top
I don’t need to pick whose side I’m on

WOLVES CAN WAIT
Keep your head and your wits about
Circled wagons keep the enemies out
Where do we go from here?
I stomped the earth and I left my guide
Sucked the poison from a rattler’s bite
And dreamed of a wild frontier
I'm in the same place that I was this time last year
Where you going?
Can’t you stay?
After all, the wolves can wait
That’s where you run to
Where you pray
That this feeling won’t go away
The night won’t show you just one shade of black
A possum riding on his mother’s back
The dreams we build in bed
A town in flurries always make a fuss
People asking where the hell I was
Like a dog waits to be fed
When you know you’re right
You just move ahead
IF I GO DOWN
Who is it coming?
This adds up to nothing
Who is that thumping in my head?
Noise from the kitchen
Run to the cupboard
All I discovered, leaning in
This is no place to be without a friend
The walls are closing in
If I go down sinking
Would you pull me out?
Would you reel me in?
I’m just wondering if you can
Who is it humming?
Hold onto something
Who I’m becoming who I am
This is no place to be without a friend
If it happens again
Reach out and touch it
Make some adjustments
I got busted, busting in
This is no place to be without a friend
I just don’t see an end
