[Verse 1]
There's a house behind a house (House behind a house)
There's a dream behind a dream (Behind a dream)
There's a heart outside a heart (Outside a heart)
There's a hope behind a hope (Behind a hope)

[Chorus]
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?
End

[Verse 2]
Lonely faces everywhere (Faces everywhere)
Watch them starin' at their hands (Starin' at their hands)
As the walls keep closin' in (Closin' in)
As the days go on and on (On and on)

[Chorus]
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
Had enough
Had enough

[Verse 3]
Lonely faces everywhere (Everywhere)
Watch them starin' at their hands (Starin' at their hands)
There's a house behind a house (House behind a house)
There's a dream behind a dream

[Outro]
Behind a house (Oh)
House behind a house (Yeah)
House behind a house (Yeah)
Behind a house
Behind a house
Behind a house
Ow
Behind a house
Behind a house
Behind a house
Behind a house
Ow
Ah
Ow
