Tear Down the House Songtext
von The Avett Brothers

Tear down the house
That I grew up in
I′ll never be the same again
Take everything that I've collected
And throw it in a pile
Bulldoze the woods
That I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
I have no memory of who I once was
And I don′t remember your name
Park the old car
That I love the best Inspections due and it won't pass the test
It's funny how I have to put it to rest
And how one day I will join it
I remember crying over you
And I don′t mean like a couple of tears
Then I′m blue
I'm talkin′ about collapsing
And screaming at the moon
But I'm a better man
For having gone through it
Yes, I′m a better man
For having gone through


Ever since I learned how to curse
I've been using those sorry old words
But, I′m talkin' to these children
And I'm keeping it clean
I don′t need those words
To say what I mean, no
I don′t need those words
To say what I mean
Tear down the house
That I grew up in
I'll never be the same again
Take everything that I used to own
And burn it in a pile
And, bulldoze the woods
That I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
I have no memory of who I once was
And I don′t remember your name
