Three stacks of wood in a shed

A hearth made of ash, a ghost in our bed

Winter came the day you left this room

I welcomed her in but the oven’s unused

The hallway has half the number of shoes

Our breath fogs up in the living room

So hand in hand…

I wondered

Arms in the air

We’re twirling through our kitchen

I run my fingers through your hair

And I don’t care

About money or the complications

I live for this house we share

Old shadows dance when the sun goes down

Cast by the light of kids playing house

I don’t hold it against you but sometimes I think that I hate you

And the strange thing is that I’d do it again

I still go out of my way just to do it again

Do you get it yet? Play a record on repeat

So hand in hand…

I wondered

Arms in the air

We’re twirling through our kitchen

I run my fingers through your hair

And I don’t care

About money or the complications

I live for this house we share

Sometimes I think I still love you

Sometimes I’m scared I still love you

I wanted to start this life for longer than I can remember

In these four walls we swore on forever and ever

But I feel my heartbeat shift and my world falls back to the center
