If Walls Could Talk

If these walls could talk, they'd tell you 'bout my grandma

And the time we spent when Mama had to work

If these walls could talk, you'd hear all the songs my daddy

Would sing to us on Sunday after church

I don't want to forget

If these walls could talk, I'd have a million questions

About the memories I've lost along the way

If these walls could talk, I'd sit right here for hours

And hang on every single word they'd have to say

I'd find the answers I've been chasing

If these walls could talk

If these walls could talk, they'd tell you 'bout my first date

When Mama saw me off, then Daddy stayed up late

Should have known the boy was never gonna stay

And my brother didn't like him anyway

If these walls could talk, I'd have a million questions

About the memories I've lost along the way

If these walls could talk, I'd sit right here for hours

And hang on every single word they have to say

I'd find the answers I've been chasing

If these walls could talk

Do you miss the pictures hanging?

Do you miss the people laughing?

All the things that made you feel at home?

If these walls could talk, I'd have a million questions

About the memories I've lost along the way

If these walls could talk, I'd sit right here for hours

And hang on every single word they had to say

I'd find the answers I've been chasing

Why won't you help me stop these memories fading?

If these walls could talk, they'd tell you 'bout the boxes in the hall

And the silence that we left when we moved on
