Lawrence

I had a house on 12th street
I lived there when I was young
And though I was bored in Ohio
I won't tell you that that's where I'm from
No, I am from a brothel
Legally in Tennessee
Seven girls in four bedrooms
A red couch, A full moon
Three birds in the chimney, and me

But time keeps falling through my fingers
Crawling toward my
Deepest fear
I don't wanna lose you

Oh we held each other
And we sheltered our friends through the rain
And no matter where I go through the years
It won't ever be the same again

This is not the house that I built
And this house never built me
Because without the souls inside of it
What's a house, but a hallowed-out tree
And we never learned to walk here
We emerged as if out of the sea
Wobbly legs, but ready to run
Together, and just turn nineteen

And I just wanna fly
And then answer who am I
Without you
I don't wanna lose you

Oh we held each other
And we sheltered our friends through the rain
And no matter where I go through the years
It won't ever be the same again
Oh we held each other
And we're going but one thing remains
And no matter where I go through the years
I will never be the same
Again

(Never)
(Keep going)
(Go in)
(Never)
(Will never)
