  • They build wooden houses on frozen ponds
    In the summertime when the water's gone
    Diagonal lines in their rolled-out lawns
    And the sage always smells so pretty
    But nobody cares where the birds have gone
    When the rain comes down on Babylon
    The stonemason's phone rings all day long
    And you gotta get back to the city

    I build my house up on this rock, baby
    Every day with you
    There's nothin' in that town I need
    After everything we've been through
    Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
    Is all the distance this poor girl can take
    Without listenin' to you talk
    I don't need their money, baby
    Just you and me on the rock
    You and me on the rock

    I built paper planes when I learned to fly
    Like a 747 fallin' out of the sky
    I folded 'em crooked and now I'm wonderin' why
    I could always end up in the water
    But nobody's askin' why she lookin' so thin
    Why she's laughin' too hard, why she drinkin' again
    A falling star, she's a paper plane
    And she was goin' down when you caught her

    I build my house up on this rock, baby
    Every day with you
    There's nothin' in that town I need
    After everything we've been through
    Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
    Is all the distance this poor girl can take
    Without listenin' to you talk
    I don't need their money, baby
    Just you and me on the rock

    It's an earthquake, it's a hard wind
    It's a record-breakin' tide and it is rollin' in
    It's a big sea, but it can't touch you and me
    It's just a water view
    And what a view
    I don't need their money, baby

    Woo

    I build my house up on this rock, baby
    Every day with you
    There's nothin' in that town I need
    After everything we've been through
    Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
    Is all the distance this old girl can take
    Without listenin' to you talk
    I don't need their money, baby
    Just you and me on the rock

    I don't need their money, baby (I don't need their money, baby)
    It's you and me on the rock (it's you and me on the rock)
    You and me on the rock Writer/s: Brandi M. Carlile, Phillip John Hanseroth, Timothy Jay Hanseroth
