Matthew DeChant - House of Cards

Somewhere over the rainbow
I know, she's waiting there for me
But I know, that any way the wind blows
I won't be there to see

Cause I wake up with the winter
And go to bed with the spring
On my tongue I'll catch the cinders
Cause the fire is too hot to drink

And by god, this house is beautiful
And I wish I could stay here for life
But my car's outside and the tank is full
And the water is turning to ice

The wallpaper's cracked and ashen
My foot's already out the door
The rooms are empty and barren
But I know I can't stay here for more

The wallpaper was gilded
And I was too fool to see
Or maybe it was the essence of jilted, or wilted
And I was seeing clearly

And by god, this house is beautiful
And I wish I could stay here for life
But my car's outside and the tank is full
And the water is turning to ice

The smiles and the laughter
Are forever burned in my mind
And the everything of the here and the now
Really just isn't the time

So somewhere over the rainbow
I know, she's waiting there for me
But I know, that any way the wind blows
I won't be there to see

And by god, this house is beautiful
And I wish I could stay here for life
But my car's outside and the tank is full
And the water is turning to ice
