House Again

Well, this kitchen used to be a dance hall

Music on and the lights off

Just you and I

Used to be

Perfume on your pillow

New day through the window

Bringing out the blue in your eyes

Used to be

Four boots by the front door

But two ain't there anymore

And now it's just four empty walls

Where I lay my head and get no rest at all

The porch swing don't swing

The doorbell don't ring and now it's just wood on concrete

And numbers on a mailbox on a used-to-be street

I guess you or I should have left when you did

The house you made a home is now just a house again

These days all I hear is an echo

Of you saying, "Baby don't go"

And your goodbye

If you came back, you'd be surprised

You wouldn't even recognize this place without you

What the hell did you do?

What the hell did you do?

'Cause now it's just four empty walls

Where I lay my head and get no rest at all

The porch swing don't swing

The doorbell don't ring

And now it's just wood on concrete

And numbers on a mailbox on a used-to-be street

I guess you or I should have left when you did

The house you made a home is now just a house again

A kitchen used to be a dance hall

With music on and the lights off

But now it's just four empty walls

Where I lay my head and get no rest at all

The porch swing don't swing

The doorbell don't ring

And now it's just wood on concrete

And numbers on a mailbox on a used-to-be street

I guess you or I should have left when you did

The house you made a home

Is now just a house again
