Wall of Sound: Back to Throwing Stones

Back to Throwing Stones

If you don’t trust me then I will change you
And then… we will both change
Into the people we wish were strangers
And then nothing will really change

Once I was twelve going on twenty-one
Now twenty-one’s one year away
And that’s where we’re going and that’s where we’ve been
And I’m scared that that’s where we will stay

This house is getting kind of lived in, don’t you know?
Maybe we should go back to throwing stones
This house is getting kind of lived in, don’t you know?
Maybe we should go back to throwing stones

Everyone’s got something under the table
To footsy with hair-triggers cocked
This game is not for us, or our we still strangers?
With tattooing needles well stocked

This house is getting kind of lived in, don’t you know?
With wide smiles cracking like old porcelain bowls
This house is getting kind of lived in, don’t you know?
Maybe we should go back to throwing stones

Could you be any crueler and still where a halo?
My threshold surpasses each day
You waltz like a knight on a stone chessboard
I pawned my bottled ship to play

Once I was sure I could drift ‘round the world
Now I’m sifting through the dust of the tide
And that’s where I’m going and that’s where I’ve been
Cause I never took the time to try

This house is getting kind of lived in, don’t you know?
Maybe we should go back to throwing stones
This house is getting kind of lived in, don’t you know?
Maybe we should go back to throwing stones
