If the World Was a House

[Verse 1]
It's crowded in the kitchen
Everyone's trying to speak
Everyone's got an opinion
Everyone has a belief
There's an elephant in every room
No one's taking out the trash
There's a million miles that come
Between the front door and the back

[Chorus]
If the world was a house
And it was on fire
Would we just put it out
Or let it burn higher?
We wouldn't be strangers (Ooh-ooh)
We wouldn't be enemies (Ooh-ooh)
We'd run into danger (Ooh-ooh)
I'd save you, you'd save me
If the world was a house

[Verse 2]
Secrets in the basement
Closets full of rage
This house is leaning right and left
It's never stood up straight
On the porch, they're prayin' to Jesus
Upstairs they read the stars
Lookin' for a hammer, lookin' for a nail
To keep from falling apart

[Chorus]
If the world was a house
And it was on fire
Would we just put it out
Or let it burn higher?
We wouldn't be strangers (Ooh-ooh)
We wouldn't be enemies (Ooh-ooh)
We'd run into danger (Ooh-ooh)
I'd save you, you'd save me
If the world was a house
If the world was a house

[Outro]
We wouldn't be strangers
We wouldn't be enemies
We'd run into danger (Ooh-ooh)
I'd save you, you'd save me
If the world was house
If the world was house
