Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a brand new roof above my head
All the empty boxes thrown away
I rearranged the place a hundred times today
But the ordering of objects couldn't hide what's missing
[Verse 2]
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again
[Verse 3]
Got myself a bottle of red wine
Got a night with nothing else to do
I think I might know what I really want
But is a brighter discontent the best that I can hope to find?
[Verse 4]
Got a big black television set
Now I can watch just what I want
But I'm here staring up at pictures on the wall
And where are you? You're still stuck inside them all
[Verse 5]
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again
[Verse 6]
But love is not these belongings that surround me
Though there's meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard
[Verse 7]
Got a desk, I'll write myself a note
Pretending that it came from you
On hotel stationary from the time we first met
Whatever I can do 'cause I won't throw my hands up yet
[Verse 8]
And all these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again
[Verse 9]
But love is not these belongings that surround you
Though there's meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard
[Verse 10]
But I'll be fine if I don't look around me now
Too much for what's gone
Well, if only I can wait here just a little while
And let time pass in my room
Oh
