Album: The Distance

House Behind A House

Words and Music by Bob Seger

There's a house behind a house
There's a dream behind a dream
There's a heart outside a heart
There's a hope behind a hope

When two people know that it's time to go
When do they give in
At what point in time do they really find
They must let it end

Lonely faces everywhere
Watch them starin' at their hands
As the walls keep closin' in
As the days go on and on

When two people see it can never be
When do they give up
When do they concede they must let it be
Now they've had enough They've had enough

Lonely faces everywhere
Watch them starin' at their hands
There's a house behind a house
