Make This House A Home Lyrics - Indigo Girls

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
