Younger
When you were younger
You'd paint those mountains
Towering cliffs of snow where you could be lost
When you were younger
You'd make those movies
Out on the weekend with your best friends
Anchors away
Now that you're older
You disavow all the things that you create
And I don't see you in quite the same way
When I was younger
I'd watch the wildfires
How they would surround my hometown
Like a fence of light
And up on the hilltop
There is a house where
Standing empty, evacuees have torn up the grass
And they are praying
Lord please protect our precious real estate
But they don't see it in quite the same way
They're sayin
I don't wanna live in the house on the hill
They're sayin I don't wanna live in the house on the hill
Yea I know you wanna live in the house on the hill
But I'm older and I'm wiser and it's so hard to leave
Now that I'm older
I don't see the point in learning to self-destruct
Cause I'm movin on, looking in, moving up
Baby I don't wanna live in the house on the hill
Baby I don't wanna live in the house on the hill
Yea I know you wanna live in the house on the hill
But I'm older and I'm wiser and it's so hard to leave
You'd paint those mountains
Towering cliffs of snow where you could be lost
When you were younger
You'd make those movies
Out on the weekend with your best friends
Anchors away
Now that you're older
You disavow all the things that you create
And I don't see you in quite the same way
When I was younger
I'd watch the wildfires
How they would surround my hometown
Like a fence of light
And up on the hilltop
There is a house where
Standing empty, evacuees have torn up the grass
And they are praying
Lord please protect our precious real estate
But they don't see it in quite the same way
They're sayin
I don't wanna live in the house on the hill
They're sayin I don't wanna live in the house on the hill
Yea I know you wanna live in the house on the hill
But I'm older and I'm wiser and it's so hard to leave
Now that I'm older
I don't see the point in learning to self-destruct
Cause I'm movin on, looking in, moving up
Baby I don't wanna live in the house on the hill
Baby I don't wanna live in the house on the hill
Yea I know you wanna live in the house on the hill
But I'm older and I'm wiser and it's so hard to leave
