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
