A House and a River lyrics

I can't seem to let you know

just what it takes.

How I'm always keeping score, score

of my mistakes.

Sharp enough to get to the line.

Dumb enough to fade every time.

I can't seem to let you know, know

just what it takes.

I'm distracted by everything.

You bring me close to before.

I see a house and a river,

you and me stretched by the shore.

I wish I could explain what it is,

the way I feel about you.

Nothing here before could exist

the way I feel about you.

In the light, I can't escape it.

Why would anybody want to?

Wish I could explain what it is

the way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

The way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

The way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

The way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

I swore I'd never make you wait.

Oh, what a man.

Always hit the wall too late, late,

but you never tell.

No one gets it wrong like I do.

No one here was ever so good.

Swore I'd never make you wait, wait.

Oh, what a man.

And I'm distracted by everything.

You bring me close to before, love.

I see a house and a river,

you and me stretched by the shore, love.

I wish I could explain what it is,

the way I feel about you.

Nothing here before could exist

the way I feel about you.

In the light, I can't escape it.

Why would anybody want to?

Wish I could explain what it is

the way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

The way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

The way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

The way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

And when we finish the circle,

would you bring me back to before?

I see that house and that river,

you and me just like we were.

I wish I could explain what it is,

the way I feel about you.

Nothing here before could exist

the way I feel about you.

In the light, I can't escape it.

Why would anybody want to?

Wish I could explain what it is

the way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

The way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

The way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

The way I feel about you.

Feel about, feel about!

Feel about, feel about.
