The House Shook Lyrics

safe for now
i turn around now to turn
the television drone down down
cause in the night those same sounds
amplify in my life
they spill on the floor and out the front door
and when i finished the book the house shook.

hey babe when the walls shake
we'll be halfway to the bank
hey babe when the floors quake
we'll be shaking out the take.

safe for now
every damn day a hero of mine dies trying to fly
and they lie where their lovers lie
like everything's fine
so pound on the chest and hope for the best
and i'll give you that like
like we're off the hook.

hey babe when the walls shake
we'll be halfway to the bank
hey babe when the floors quake
we'll be shaking out the take.
hey babe are you awake?

safe for now
so be sure and save us now
safe for now
so be brave and save us now
