The picture window is cracked and there's nowhere to run
I know, I know
This house is not for sale

I set each stone and I hammered each nail
This house is not for sale
Where memories live and my dreams don't fail
This house is not for sale
Coming home
I'm coming home

This world is packing to the ground and I stake my claim
Standing on the dirt where they'll dig my grave
Now I will build these walls, it's in my veins
No time for looking back for hope is out the door
This heart, this soul
This house is not for sale

I set each stone and I hammered each nail
This house is not for sale
Where memories live and my dreams don't fail
This house is not for sale
Coming home
I'm coming home

This house was built on trust
That's what it is in all these words
No wrecking ball can knock it down
This house was built on higher ground

I set each stone and I hammered each nail
This house is not for sale
Where memories live and my dreams don't fail
This house is not for sale
Coming home
I'm coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home
This house is not for sale
That's what I heard. Still can't understand if he says "This world is packing" or something else. (Made a change or two on Kenobi's lyrics)

Think the same

Guitar intro and solo is a lot like HAND, but that's not a bad thing. Like the thumping drums, soaring backing vocals in parts. Jon even sounds better than he did on WAN to me as well.

However, the big issue for me is the subject matter. I can't connect with the house thing. If someone can help me interpret it in a different way I'd be very happy to hear it. I think I might be taking it too literally.

I know it sounds stupid but having always rented, never bought or built my own home I can't empathize in what the songs about (if its about having your own home). I also looked at it in a sort of hometown pride way:

"Outside the sky is coal black, the streets are on fire
The picture window is cracked and there's nowhere to run
I know, I know
This house is not for sale"

That says to me even though this neighbourhood is shit I'm still sticking here cos I love this town .

But I don't really empathize with that either cos I moved 200 miles away from where I was born and I'm happy living elsewhere!

Maybe its just one I'm not going to get a feel for!

To me it sounds like he's using a house as a metaphor for the band. Putting all that work into something that can't be bought. I wonder if it was written around the time of the label troubles. If the label was going to own all their material and masters. If not about the band it's a metaphor for something I'm sure.

It has the Bon Jovi formula big time but that I'm Coming Home hook. Holy crap, that's good.
