House On The Hill

When you were born in the house on the hill, I was making a fool of myself

With the boy next door

Desperate for attention, and then clamouring for more

He must've seen me coming

I put my heart right through it

And I knew the whole town knew it

Up and down the high streets, in and out of shops

Word flew that I didn't know when I should stop

Oh, he must've seen me coming

I wish that I could have it all again

But now it's too late for me

You're gazing on the house I once lived in

So you can do it for me

When you were starting school, I was playing the next fool

With another boy next door or at least a room on the same floor of my new residence

Oh, he never saw me coming

I had gone with good intention to further my education

But the lure of more affection was beyond self-preservation

So I opened up the floodgates

And then he started running

I wish that I could have it all again

But now it's too late for me

You're gazing on the house I once lived in

So you can do it for me

Now we meet for the first time

And the ignorance is bliss

Did she make your stomach flip, when you managed to find your first kiss?

And did she go for more, do you think she saw you coming?

So when you look from the house on the hill, and the walk towards the graveyard

Remember how I faltered, remember how I felt, remember how I gave far too much as well

To the boy who was in as well

I wish that I could have it all again

But now it's too late for me

You're gazing on the house I once lived in

So you can do it for me

I wish that I could have it all again

But now it's too late for me

You're gazing on the house I once lived in

So you can do it for me
