This house sees everything,
and everything that I miss
when I'm in my head and you're seeing red,
then you're talking to the walls again.
And, I've got a memory
of you in the back of the car.
Your arms in the wind and we didn't give
our attention to each other then.
Well, you know that I hate it when you get like this.
It's the only thing about you that I wouldn't miss.
There are so many things we can pick apart,
but it's all between your head and heart.
And, I love that we can get into a place like this
where the sum of the equation is happiness.
And now, can we stay right here?
Wake up, come back to me.
See how nothing has changed
since you went to bed and you started in
dreaming everything was different.
I'll make the money, hit the deadline.
Doing everything to keep in time.
Doing everything right.
I can't say what I want to say to you.
I know the weekend is so hard.
I'm doing everything to get back to you.
Come on now, you should know, know, know
that everything will come right back around to you.
I know the weekend is so hard,
but everything will come right back around to you.
How do you forget this so easily?
Well, you know that I hate it when you get like this.
It's the only thing about you that I wouldn't miss.
There are so many things we can pick apart,
but it's all between your head and heart.
And, I love that we can get into a place like this
where the sum of the equation is happiness.
Now, can we just stay right here?
I know the weekend is so hard.
When I'm home you'll see how we hold charge.
This house is a field for everything.
