Your House

they tell us not to get attached everything breaks eventually every picture fades every season leaves but i still leave your side of the bed unmade just to see the shape you left behind they say time takes everybody maybe that's the only thing it's good at it takes summers it takes parents it takes heroes it takes names and one day it'll come for me but tonight the kitchen light is on and you're still here and i'm still here i really wanna stay at your house not because the world is ending not because i'm scared to die i just know how fast the sand falls and i don't wanna waste a minute when i could spend it by your side i really wanna stay at your house everybody wants forever i think i'd settle for enough another laugh another drive another stupid story nobody else would understand the older i get the more miraculous ordinary feels your hand in mine the sound of the kids running through the hallway a song half finished on the couch another morning we weren't promised if love hurts maybe that's the receipt maybe that's how you know it mattered maybe every broken heart is proof we found something worth keeping i really wanna stay at your house not because the world is ending not because i'm scared to die i just know how fast the sand falls and i don't wanna waste a minute when i could spend it by your side i really wanna stay at your house
