So we'll be here awhile It's one more tick on the dial It's one less untraveled mile to go I don't know where I'm going But I know there's no use in knowing The odds of the die that I'm throwing – just throw Chorus It's the good and the bad Sunshine and rain It's the chances we had And the choices we made It's the friends that were lost And the lives that were saved So come on I'll build the houses
If you dig the graves Long live you and the lips of a long kiss This is just one on a long list Of things that I'd miss if I missed them Chorus It's hello and good-bye The first time I saw you There will be a last Please know that I love you Until that day comes I'll be here with a smile on my face Building the houses, yea I'll build the houses If you dig the graves
