verse
The piano makes the sound you play so quietly
These love notes, letter bombs
These not so subtle signs
This house can't make us stay
chorus
You know, I've loved you from the start
(But this house can't make you stay)
Sometimes these things just fall apart
(We might never be the same)
Maybe, I can never be everything you'll ever need
But I can put my arms around you
verse
If we tear this down, line up every stone
Will memory disconnect us
From all that came before?
'Cause sometimes our own hearts
To keep themselves from breaking
chorus
You know, I've loved you from the start
(But this house can't make you stay)
Sometimes these things just fall apart
(Could we ever be the same?)
Maybe, I can never be everything you'll ever need
But I can put my arms around you
chorus
You know I've loved you from the start
(No, this house can't make us stay)
But sometimes these things just fall apart
(This will never be the same)
Maybe, I can never be everything you'll ever need
But I can wrap my arms around you
Maybe, you can never be everything I'll ever need
But could you put your arms around me?
