A House in Nebraska Songtext
von White Silas

Labored breaths and bed sores
Sing it to me all day long
When the aching sound of silence
Used to be our favorite song

You and me against the world
You were my man and I your girl
We had nothing except each other
You were my whole world
But then the day came, and you were up and gone

And I still call home
That house in Nebraska
Where we found each other
On a dirty mattress on the second floor

Where the world was empty
Save you and I
Where you came and I laughed
And you left and I cried
Where you told me even
If we died tonight, that I′d die yours


These dirt roads are empty
The ones we paved ourselves
Your mama calls me sometimes
To see if I'm doing well

And I lie to her and say that I′m doing fine
When, really, I'd kill myself to hold you one more time
And it hurts to miss you, but it's worse to know
That I′m the reason you won′t come home

But I still call home
That house in Nebraska
Where we found each other
On a dirty mattress on the second floor

Where the world was empty
Save you and I
Where you came and I laughed
And you left and I cried
Where you told me even
If we died tonight, that I'd die yours

You know, I still wait at the edge of town
Praying straight to God that, maybe, you′ll come back around
I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse
'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt


And I found photographs of our school
On the day we met
I thought that you were so beautiful
It was love, I guess

And you might never come back home
And I may never sleep at night
But God, I just hope you′re doing fine out there
I just pray that you're alright

And I feel so alone, and I feel so alone out here
And I feel so alone, and I feel so alone out here
And I feel so alone without you, I′m so alone out here
I feel so alone, I feel so alone
I'm so alone out here without you, baby
