Stillwater Songtext

von Hands Like Houses

Pilling stones to guide the sea
To say we've stopped the tide
But we, we never did, (did we)
We never did, (did we)

We build as only children know to build
We made our way where there's a will
No slowing down or standing still
Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old
And never noticed
How did we gain the world
And lose the moment
Rise and fall
The tide surrounds us
And drowns us all

Finding cracks in our intent
We can't stop the water from rushing in
We can't stop the walls collapsing in
The rocks give to rain and to ruin again

We build as only children know to build
We made our way where there's a will
Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old
And never noticed
How did we gain the world
And lose the moment
Rise and fall
The tide surrounds us
And drowns us all

Watching the years all washed away
Scattered stones all that remains
Our kingdom swallowed by the sea

(Innocent and reckless)
(Innocent and reckless)

How did we get so old
And never noticed
How did we gain the world
And lose the moment
Rise and fall
The tide surrounds us
And drowns us all

How did we get so old
And never noticed
How did we gain the world
And lose the moment
Rise and fall
The tide surrounds us
And guides us all
