You Were In The House

 

 

 

 

You Were In The House

 

I waited for you through embarassment and fear


Through the hurt of never having, but oh so near


I waited so long I didnt know that it was wrong


Now I'm just as weak as I once were strong


 

I reached out for you ‘til my fingers fell numb


I added up the parts but never figured out the sum


Until I let go of common sense and myself


Now I try to reach for someone else

 

 

Chorus


I was not the one to go home


When the party was over


I was not the one to give out or give in


When you were in the house

 

 


I stretched out so far that I some time had to break


By feeling nothing but how to fake


And so I embraced the pure vision of it all


The pretty little things you see in a fall
