Hands Like Houses - The House You Built (Untouched) lyrics

[Verse 1 - Hands Like Houses] You used to know so well those weathered hands When they were gentle When they brought the colour to your cheeks They still do, but not the same Because they turned their back on you And when she's hiding at your feet, you know you'll stay [Pre-Chorus 1 - Hands Like Houses] These sentiments are secondhand He's fighting for his heart but he is losing ground She's unintended, not unloved And you're the one to keep her safe and sound [Chorus 1 - Hands Like Houses] Don't look down Even though they're looking down on you The house you build on solid ground will be a home In time, you'll see it Don't look down Even though they're looking down on you The love you build your house around Will make it home in time to see them through [Verse 2 - Hands Like Houses] Her shoes are scuffed, she drags her feet too much But baby lift your face, you don't need to justify your place So stay just what you are, you've come this far If only I could show your future you would light up like the sun [Pre-Chorus 2 - Hands Like Houses] These sentiments are second hand She's fighting for your future and she's gaining ground You are protected, you are loved So show them who you are and make them proud [Chorus 2 - Hands Like Houses] Don't look down Even though they're looking down on you The house you build on solid ground will be a home In time, you'll see it Don't look down Because there's no one looking down on you Your house is built on solid ground You'll be just fine in time, just see it through [Bridge - Hands Like Houses] Hey little light, aren't you a big achiever? Hey Mrs. Might, I know that you believe in her Hey Mr. Beaten Down, you found your heart again In the hope you built your house around You gave your little light You gave your little light a brand new start [Chorus 2 - Hands Like Houses] Don't look down Even though they're looking down on you The house you build on solid ground will be a home In time, you'll see it Don't look down Because there's no one looking down on you Your house is built on solid ground You'll be just fine in time, just see it through
