I can't remember what called me to this place Was it rusty worn-out windows Or the Sun that gave me faith That something would happen for once in my life The crickets sang a chorus to the sweetest lullaby There was something here once I'll hold on tight, like I'm still a kid You were my shelter But a house is not a home if it can't be lived in Can't be lived in I've tried forgetting the look on your face I think part of me wants to keep it in my pocket, just in case Your softness in the summer was worth chasing over states And I'll keep making excuses for the love that you misplaced There was something here once I'll hold on tight, like I'm still a kid You were my shelter But a house is not a home if it can't be lived in Can't be lived in How long will I try to hold on? You let me wait here for you too long And should you care about what I want? It isn't fair, you were too nonchalant Is this the place that I'll never leave? So many things that you let me believe And is that question still up to me? I think I want it to be, I think I want it to be (I'll ask till the end) There was something here once (how long will I try to hold on?) I'll hold on tight, like I'm still a kid (you let me wait here for you too long) You were my shelter (and should you care about what I want?) But a house is not a home if it can't be lived in (it isn't fair, you were too nonchalant)
