Lyrics The Milk Carton Kids

The Milk Carton Kids

No Hammer to Hold

I built a house

Upon the hill

All my love's inside

I run around

One day you will

Come down

In a slide

Everything looks better in my dream

Nine pounds' heavier than it seems

So take me back Minnesota in the snow

I turn my back and try to make it home

Clearly I've

No hammer to hold

You keep a light

And burn both ends

I live inside my mind

And you were right

I was wrong again

What will they say when I die

Everything looks better in my head

Nine pounds' heavier than they said

So take me back to Minnesota in the snow

I turn my back and try to make it home

Clearly I've

No hammer to hold

So watch my back with mercy as I go

Cause I'm attacked

By this burning afterglow

I bulit a house

upon a hill

all my love's inside
