Hands Like Houses - Stillwater lyrics

Piling stones to guide the sea, To say we stopped the tide, but we We never did (did we) We never did (did we) We build as only children know to build We made a way where there's a will No slowing down or standing still Innocent and reckless How did we get so old and never notice How did we gain the world and lose the moment Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us And drowns us all Finding cracks in our intent We can't stop the water from rushing in We can't stop the walls collapsing in The rocks give to rain and to ruin again We build as only children know to build We made a way where there's a will Innocent and reckless How did we get so old and never notice How did we gain the world and lose the moment Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us And drowns us all Watching the years, all washed away Scattered stones all that remains A kingdom swallowed by the sea Innocent and reckless Innocent and reckless How did we get so old and never notice How did we gain the world and lose the moment Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us And drowns us all How did we get so old and never notice How did we gain the world and lose the moment Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us And guides us all
