Lyrics for A House as interpreted by I Saw Star Wars

A House Lyrics
it was a day like this and my house burnt down
and the walls were thin and they crashed to the ground
it was a day like this and my life unwound
you could've struck me a line and that's okay now
we could always put it together again
you could've told me a lie, and a lie so thin, so thin
now everything's clear

day after day and the life goes on
and I try to see the good in everyone
if I ever find myself here again
I'll give everything

Musically, one of the most wonderfully depressing songs I have ever heard

Beautiful song, which means a lot to me personally.
Really, it's about being reminded of something in your life that pretty much destroyed you, and just trying to keep going, and being determined that if you ever get another chance, you will make the most of it.

My favorite Doves song...simply haunting...like ghosts in an abandoned house trying to escape a flickering, old film projector...

I just listened to this again after a while and it totally floored me; what a powerful song. I, too, see it as being about trying to go on after something devastating without really even being sure if anything's going to be alright again, but still having at least a shred of hope to hold on to.

Amazing song, just moves you. I love these guys, their music is so atmospheric.

I belive this song ( off their debut album ) may have a lot to do with the fire that had happened prior to them writing this album.
The fire destroyed 3 years worth of work. It burnt down their studio, so they reformed the band and kinda ironically called themselves The Doves. Can almost picture some white doves flying out of the charred ashes, eh?

"If I ever find myself here again, I'll give everything"

That single line can really pull you through some sick times...
