lyrics

The house is a shell
Took the last of the boxes today
Oh, just as well
It’s so old, unappealing and grey
All the carpet is worn, the kitchen’s too small
The paper divorced itself from the wall long ago
No this isn’t what we’ve called home

Movies every week
Endless games of hide and seek
And your laugh reminding me I’ve never been alone
That won’t cease to be
I can take along with me
Every reason we’ve been calling this place a home

The house is all done!
Give the keys to the agents I guess
You could call it well-loved
Call it a quite uninspiring address
There’s a door with the handle, coming apart
A sensible buyer would probably pass it by
But it’s made of much more than stone

Sunday afternoon
Playing spacemen on the moon
Every song we used to croon to and the ways we’ve grown
That won’t cease to be
I can take along with me
Every thing that we’ve been filling this place with

Laughter and the tears
Autumn candles, summer beers
Filling up the tree with tinsel, stealing Dad’s cologne
In my memory
I will bring along with me
Every reason we’ve been calling this place a home
So many reasons we’ve been calling this place a home
