The House
A Love That Stands the Test of Time: The House by Gravity Blinks
Lyrics
There's a house, so I'm told
Introduction to the existence of a house
That is ninety years old
Describing the age of the house as ninety years
And it stands on a hill far away
Location of the house on a distant hill
There's a man and his wife
Introduction of a married couple living in the house
They've lived there all their lives
Indicating that the couple has spent their entire lives in the house
And they said this on their wedding day
Referring to a statement made by the couple on their wedding day
We'll build us a home
Expressing the couple's plan to build a home with durable materials
Made with good wood and stone
Emphasizing the use of good wood and stone in construction
And we'll raise our family
Stating their intention to raise a family in the house
And should I pass away
Considering the possibility of one partner passing away
Then my love will still stay
Assuring that love will persist even in the absence of one partner
In the house built for you and for me
Reiterating the enduring love in the house built for both partners
So the house, it was made
Describing the construction of the house and its prolonged habitation
It was there where they stayed
Emphasizing the couple's care for the house over ninety years
And for some ninety years they took care
Detailing the aging process of the couple while in the house
They grew old, they grew gray
Noting the eventual passing away of both partners
Then they both passed away
Highlighting the enduring love present in the house
But the love in the house is still there
Reaffirming the lasting love within the house even after death
We'll build us a home
Repetition of the couple's plan to build a home
Made with good wood and stone
Reiterating the use of good wood and stone in construction
And we'll raise our family
Reaffirming the desire to raise a family in the house
And should I pass away
Revisiting the possibility of one partner passing away
Then my love will still stay
Reassuring the persistence of love even in the absence of one partner
In the house built for you and for me
Reiteration of enduring love in the house for both partners
Here we are, me and you
Introduction of the current situation of "me and you"
No one here, just we two
Emphasizing the solitude of the couple, highlighting their connection
And the skies are so clear and so blue
Describing the clear and blue skies surrounding the couple
And the house on the hill
Reference to the still-standing house on the hill
It is standing there still
Highlighting the enduring presence of the house
And it's waiting for me and for you
Expressing anticipation for the house, waiting for both partners
We'll build us a home
Repetition of the couple's plan to build a home
Made of good wood and stone
Reiterating the use of good wood and stone in construction
And we'll raise our family
Reaffirming the desire to raise a family in the house
And should I pass away
Revisiting the possibility of one partner passing away
Then our love will still stay
Reassuring the persistence of love even in the absence of one partner
In the house built for you and for me
Reiteration of enduring love in the house for both partners
In the house built for you and for me
Concluding affirmation of the enduring love in the house for both partners
