I've transcribed the lyrics as I heard them below. Some of it is probably wrong, so if you heard something different, just leave your correction in the comments. :)
EDIT: The official video is out... and it includes closed captions! As predicted, we did get some of the words wrong, but I will leave this version here so you can see how close or far off the mark we were. :P
These four walls have got a story to tell
The door is off the hinges, there's no wish in the well
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
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 in the dirt where they'll dig my grave
And I have built 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
What do you think of the track?
A poster on JoviTalk thinks the 3rd line of the 2nd verse is:
