She blew out my candles with me from my first to seventeen
She know everything, even what I'm thinking in my sleep
You're my rock and my foundation
You know how to keep me warm
You taught me how to live
You taught me how to make a house a home
I never thought my life would change with a for sale sign
They can paint the walls in my bedroom
Cover up my favorite shade of gray
Oh, I guess I'll have to live with this the hard way
I'll move out, but I won't move on from Allestree Lane
It ain't only bricks and mortar
My heart's inside those window frames
Oh, I plan to leave it to my future sons and daughters
But plans have a tendency to change
They can paint the walls in my bedroom
Cover up my favorite shade of gray
Oh, I guess I have to live with this the hard way
I'll move out, but I can't move on from my Allestree Lane
If I find time, I like to wonder
I shall cut down to Allestree Lane
I seek them with their feet upon my sofa
They might as well just take my family name
Oh, I promise to my mother when I'm older
I'll buy memories back for her someday
So I'll have to live with this the hard way
This my house, is my home
Well, I moved out, but I won't move on from Allestree Lane
