[00:02.78]Mary Chapin Carpenter - House Of Cards
[00:08.66]I grew up in a house like this
[00:11.60]
[00:12.72]You knew the groan of every stair
[00:14.90]
[00:15.66]All the walls seemed to listen in
[00:18.40]
[00:19.16]All the years seemed to take up air
[00:22.03]
[00:22.90]And when you dreamed it was of the wind blowing cold and hard
[00:28.28]
[00:29.77]And in those dreams you thought you lived in a house of cards
[00:36.96]
[00:42.15]And I grew up in a town like this
[00:44.96]
[00:46.02]You knew the names of every street
[00:48.28]
[00:49.09]On the surface it looked so safe
[00:51.96]
[00:52.77]But it was perilous underneath
[00:55.53]
[00:56.15]Thats the place where you shoved your doubts
[00:59.15]
[00:59.84]and hid your ugly scars
[01:01.97]
[01:03.27]God forbid if word got out about your house of cards
[01:09.83]
[01:12.33]And now I feel the wind about to blow
[01:15.71]
[01:16.27]Baby Im so scared
[01:18.40]
[01:19.28]Were repeating the past instead of letting it go
[01:22.65]
[01:23.27]And I dont want to go back there
[01:27.90]
[02:03.46]Now were standing here face to face
[02:06.09]
[02:06.89]Afraid to move or else
[02:09.52]
[02:10.27]I want to prop up this fragile place
[02:13.21]
[02:13.78]But I cant do it all by myself
[02:16.71]
[02:17.40]Cause when we dream its of the wind blowing cold and hard
[02:23.33]
[02:24.33]And when we wake up we still live in a house of cards
[02:30.40]
[02:31.34]When we dream its of the wind blowing cold and hard
[02:37.02]
[02:38.46]And when we wake up we still live in a house of cards
