|
a house is a home even when it's dark |
|
even when the grass is overgrown in the yard |
|
even when the dog is too old to bark |
|
and when you're sitting at the table trying not to starve |
|
a house is a home even when there's ghosts |
|
even when you gotta run from the ones who love you most |
|
screen door's broken paint's peeling from the wood |
|
locals whisper when they gonna leave the neighborhood |
|
a house is a home where the chores are never done |
|
where you spend your whole life running to and from |
|
and if the life that you live is not the life you choose |
|
make your child a home and start anew |
|
a house is a home |
|
even when we've up and gone |
|
even when you're there alone |
|
a house is a home |
