The House Under The Hill Lyrics
Well, I'm the same kid I was
Out in the schoolyard
Hallowed my pockets with sticks
From the parking lot
Alone
Though I walked alone
I was sure there was somebody
There on my shoulder, quietly guiding me
Home
I counted to 1000, 2000, and even
Math game and nicknames for friends
That I rarely meet
But years roll along, along so graciously
And so gracefully we age into infinity
On
There is a house under a hill
With no windows, with no doors
And everything I've ever lost is there
Between the boards and beams
Oh, old friendships
Old virginity
A younger little ghost of me
Together, they are celebrating
All the time they've gained:
"Tonight, again, we celebrate
another tiny gain!"
Alone, I am nameless
And fearless and faceless
I see just my knees
And two hands held in front of me
Mine for this lifetime
So kindly I'll treat them
My blood pumps
My lungs bellow
So I will let them be
Ah...
Out in the schoolyard
Hallowed my pockets with sticks
From the parking lot
Alone
I was sure there was somebody
There on my shoulder, quietly guiding me
Home
Math game and nicknames for friends
That I rarely meet
But years roll along, along so graciously
And so gracefully we age into infinity
On
With no windows, with no doors
And everything I've ever lost is there
Between the boards and beams
Oh, old friendships
Old virginity
A younger little ghost of me
Together, they are celebrating
All the time they've gained:
"Tonight, again, we celebrate
another tiny gain!"
And fearless and faceless
I see just my knees
And two hands held in front of me
Mine for this lifetime
So kindly I'll treat them
My blood pumps
My lungs bellow
So I will let them be

Why aren't The Finches huge yet?
Their lyrics are just amazing.
I love the image of someone's lost and forgotten memories all living together and celebrating when something new arrives.
I like what mighgil said...that's exactly what's in my head when I hear this song. Well done, Finches!
