House On The Hill

Verse 1

Old fan

Spinning slow

Rusty blades on the ceiling

My mama works until her knuckles turn gray

Cold rice

Watery soup

Tastes like a promise I am going to keep

Chorus

I will build you a house on the hill

I will build you a house on the hill

Where the rain does not leak through the roof anymore

No more

No more

Just for you

Everything I do is for you

Post-Chorus

For you

For you

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Dusty boots

Morning commute

Waking up before the sun even thinks to rise

Sweat on my neck

Crammed in the jeepney

Counting every single coin in my heavy pocket

Heavy pocket

One day

We will leave this heat behind us

Chorus

I will build you a house on the hill

I will build you a house on the hill

Where the rain does not leak through the roof anymore

No more

No more

Just for you

Everything I do is for you

Bridge

Tired eyes

Tired bones

Tired soul

I see the garden in my head

Roses growing where the trash used to pile

I see the smile on your face

The worry finally gone

Chorus

I will build you a house on the hill

I will build you a house on the hill

Where the rain does not leak through the roof anymore

No more

No more

Just for you

Everything I do is for you

Post-Chorus

For you

For you

Oh oh oh

Outro

Almost there

Wait for me

I am coming home with the keys

Coming home

Coming home

Just wait

Wait for me
