This House

(album: Rock Bottom - 2021)

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 the lights
And your key's in the mailbox in case you change your mind
About this house
This house
