This House

by Matthew Hall

Lyrics
Take a look under the floor
Everything has turned to rot
Tired of running round being something that I'm not
The grass it hides under the leaves
It's getting colder than I thought
Never settled down
Satisfied with what I've got

I get comfort from these trees
'Cause they've all grown up with me

I've been growing into shoes that don't fit me
I've been holding onto things that make me bleed
Take it slowly
'Cause I'm right where I should be

This house is all I need
(One, two, one, two, three, four!)

Radiators got a leak
Should've listened to my dad
Have my friends forgotten me
Forgotten what we had
Paint is chipping off the wall
Man, these bricks just look so sad
But I guess it's all my fault, how did I let it get so bad

I get comfort from these streets
'Cause they've always followed me

I've been growing into shoes that don't fit me
I've been holding onto things that make me bleed
Take it slowly
'Cause I'm right where I should be

This house is all I need
And I've been dragged down to my knees

Now I wanna be somebody
That this house keeps around forevermore
Now I wanna be
Somebody that picks themselves up from this rotten floor

Now I've grown into the shoes that don't fit me
And I've let go of the things that make me bleed
I take it slowly
'Cause I'm right where I should I be

And this house is all I need
