There was a time I walked the earth As if I knew my way It seems the more I got around The less I had to say I built a world of tumbling dice Upon a field of sand And now the more I try to give The more that you demand So we wait, then discard, house of cards I took a pane of broken glass And made a diamond ring For every single blade of grass Mm, of thee I sing Why we wait, hesitate, I don't know Don't tell me 'bout your world coming apart Should have known about you girl, right from the start So we wait, to discard, house of cards I'm walking down a lonely road To the edge of town If you try and change my mind I won't turn around Tell me why I should try once again House of cards
