Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cities of gold, they always hold
The promise of ruins
The fountain of youth, we're runnin' to
Is just an illusion
[Verse 2]
The glass is always half full
Till you fill it to the top
I remember when you're with me
I forget it when you're not
[Verse 3]
If life is a lesson, love is an action
If pain is a weapon, sorrow's attraction
If you got a heartbeat, you know you got me
If a house is a building, home is a feelin'
[Verse 4]
The hickory floors, a swing on a porch
It don't mean a damn thing
Sheets on a bed, ain't nothin' but thread
If they're always empty
[Verse 5]
With no one to wake up to
To make the lonely stop
I remember when you're with me
I forget it when you're not
[Verse 6]
If life is a lesson, if love is an action
If pain is a weapon, sorrow's attraction
And if you got a heartbeat, you know you got me
If a house is a building, home is a feelin'
[Verse 7]
Walls, they come alive
When it's just you and I
And I realize
[Verse 8]
If life is a lesson, if love is an action
If pain is a weapon, you're my attraction
And if you got a heartbeat, you know you've got me
If a house is a building, home is a feelin'
[Verse 9]
If a house is a building, home is a feelin'
