Dear Old House
Dear old house that I grew up in I know they're gonna to leave you any day Dear old house that I grew up in Can't you find a way to make them stay And while the girls that I went to school with Walked downtown with all the cool kids I was staked out in your cellar Making friends with dead umbrellas And every creak of every floorboard Tells the story of the girl I stuck inside And if they move away I'll have no place to hide Dear old house that I grew up in I have never really been in love You took my heart when I was a Child and your Noises wrapped around my little Body like a winter glove You're just a random set of objects In a town that's filled with sadness In the armpit of the world You're chopped down trees and rotting soil And if I wanted to I'd keep you And I'd fill you up and heat you With the market how it is Amanda, well you know The price of oil Goodbye stair And goodbye stars On painted closet wall Attic door and banister I'll miss you most of all Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I was supposed to keep you safe This wasn't supposed to end Does it sound ridiculous To call you my best friend Dear old house that I grew up in I know I haven't visited that much But every lifeless hotel and apartment I walk into just remind me of the Doorknobs that I want to touch And I won't miss you when they sell you To some evil yuppie couple With a child who'll put Miley Cyrus Posters in my bedroom I am a native of the globe I am a rockstar on the road I am now centrally located Anywhere that I am known But it doesn't feel Like anywhere When you can't Go back, home Dear old house that I grew up in I know it isn't your fault this went down So please don't take it personally Love, Amanda P.S. Tell the evil yuppie couple When I'm rich I'll buy them out
