This House Songtext
von Ira Wolf

Please try to keep the plants alive
And turn off all the lights
Leave your key in the mailbox
When you lock up for the last time

I know the timing′s not the best
I thought that maybe that we could fix
What was broken between us
The way we did

To this house
This house

Please take the ring before you pack
I know you said that you don't want it back
But I can′t stand to find it
Years from now, in a box in the attic


Of this house
Not in this house

And we thought that maybe if we patched the roof
And paint the walls, put down new floors
And hang pictures, plant a garden
Of our own, we'd build a home

But the foundation cracked
Just like old bones
And we couldn't fix
All that was broken

Inside this house
This house

I couldn′t keep the plants alive
And I leave on all the lights
And your key′s in the mailbox
In case you change your mind
