lyrics

Our homes the oldest on our street
Wooden floors make noise beneath our feet
The cold comes through the walls, it slips through single panes
The roof leaks every time it rains

The lights kept burning out 'til only one remained
A basement filled with empty picture frames
We battled for a year and fought at every turn
Some days I'd like to see it burn

CHORUS
I was lost but I found it with you here
Fingers crossed like this house, we'll last into the years
'Til we rust- and our foundations turn to dust

The walls on this house are like skin
Hiding all their troubles deep within
Withe every creak, it speaks its mother tongue
Reminding us that everyone was once young

CHORUS
