This House

(album: Since I Saw You Last - 2013)

This house, built from stone
Bricks and mortar
Love and hope
Voices, children cry
Parents teach us
Wrong from right
What makes your heart ache
What makes us thankful for every day
It's always the brightest light
That takes you home each night
[Chorus]
Open the doors and windows
Whole world inside these four walls
More than a building
Floor to the ceiling
A picture of love
That's this house
Peaceful, home sweet home
Stuff needs fixing but nothing's broke
Full hearts, passing time
So glad this place is
Yours and mine
What makes you soul warm
What makes us be the people we've become
It's always the brightest light
That takes you home each night
[Repeat chorus x2]
These walls
Full of heart
Brothers, sisters
Play their part
From innocence to teenage fights
Christenings, weddings
This is life
[Repeat chorus]
That's this house
