Lyrics

Night falls on this house for the last time
And I can't sleep for all the memories inside
It's where I skinned my knees on a skateboard and learned to curse and play cards
Uncles out back throwin' horseshoes and smokin' perpetual cigars
The tears are still inside my eyes, barely holding fast
I crossed the bridge off of the cape for the very, very last
Last time, is moving far too fast, new life is flooding out
I guess I thought the kids would see ten summers in this house
In this old house, I thought you were a constant
In this old house, I thought you'd be there, like a stone, like a stone
In this old house, I thought you'd never hit the market
In this old house, your windchimes strike a different tone, a different tone
Tonight~
Night falls on this house for the last time
I'm wide awake and all the words don't seem to rhyme
Every single summer we marked our heights in the garage
A new coat of paint stands to erase the whole collage
It's not the house, it's the people but there's something in a place
All of our stories center on this point in space
But now you're gone and just the memories remain
To bubble and distort as they recede into our brains
In this old house, I thought you were a constant
In this old house, I thought you'd be there, like a stone, like a stone
In this old house, I thought you'd never hit the market
In this old house, your windchimes strike a different tone, a different tone
And I don't wanna get out of Cape Code, out of Cape Cod tonight
