[Verse 1] If I had a house with a door for every name I’d keep the kettle singing, keep the windows warm You could bring your whole weather, every bruise and flame There’d be room at the table when the night rolled on [Pre-Chorus] No one taking attendance No one drawing a line Just your laugh in the kitchen Next to hers next to mine [Chorus] I’d build a home for everyone who has my heart A hundred open rooms, no one asked to choose We’d share the heat and let the separate lives be ours But love gets called a title, and a title says, “You’re mine” So I keep that house inside a song I can’t live in [Verse 2] You say a heart should have a fence, a single key As if a welcome could be stolen by the air I wish the words came easy: stay, and still be free I wish the world could hold us without keeping score [Pre-Chorus] No one taking attendance No one drawing a line Just your laugh in the kitchen Next to hers next to mine [Chorus] I’d build a home for everyone who has my heart A hundred open rooms, no one asked to choose We’d share the heat and let the separate lives be ours But love gets called a title, and a title says, “You’re mine” So I keep that house inside a song I can’t live in [Bridge] Maybe every wall would lean Maybe every roof would part Still I’d set another place For the ones who know my heart But the world keeps naming borders Where I only see a door And the dream keeps making room While the locks keep asking for more [Final Chorus] I’d build a home for everyone who has my heart A hundred open rooms, no one asked to choose We’d share the heat and let the separate lives be ours But love gets called a title, and a title says, “You’re mine” So I keep that house inside a song I can’t live in [Outro] I can’t live in That house inside my song
