This House We Built Lyrics


Jen Foster This House We Built




[Verse 1]
In this house we built
There is stone, there is wood
There were nails in the floors
Shingles on the roof
So hard to believe
All these things we all removed
It seems small but it's all in the details

[Verse 2]
In this house we built
There are windows, there are walls
There were doors shutting out
Voices singing down the halls
So hard to believe
Something big can always fall
But it's all, it's all in the details

[Verse 3]
In this house we built
We skinned and we saved
We cut corners with the band up
And we stood there so amazed
When it all fell down
Oh, we called it beautiful
There were flaws, it was all in the details
It was all, it was all in the details

[Verse 4]
In this house we built
We have laughed and we have cried
Like the colors on the walls
And the curtains of our mind
'Cause we now grow apart
And we ever redesign
We are, and it's all in the details

[Verse 5]
In this house we built
We skinned and we saved
We cut corners with the band up
And we stood there so amazed
When it all fell down
Oh, we called it beautiful
There were flaws, it was all in the details
It was all, it was all in the details

[Verse 6]
In this house we built
We must pray for quiet strength
To accept what we've lost
And rebuild it all again
Must we never absorb
All the love with which we're made
And we fall, 'cause it's all in the details
We will fall, 'cause it's all in the details

[Outro]
Now it's all in the details
It's all in the details
'Cause it's all in the details
It's all in the details
'Cause it's all in the details
It's all in the details
'Cause it's all in the details
It's all in the details
'Cause it's all in the details
