[Intro: piano, creaking door] [Verse 1] My heart became a house somehow And every person built a room One filled up with summer mornings One still smells of cheap perfume There are rooms for long conversations Rooms for dancing after two Rooms I never knew I needed Until one belonged to you [Pre-Chorus] But there’s only one of me Walking every hall [Chorus] I BUILT A HOUSE WITH TOO MANY ROOMS AND I LOVE EVERY LIGHT But I cannot sit beside each window Every single night If your room goes quiet Please don’t think I’ve gone I’m somewhere down another hallway Trying to keep the whole house warm [Bridge: orchestral swell] Maybe love keeps adding stories Maybe that’s the beautiful curse More doors open More hearts enter One caretaker doing their worst [Final Chorus] A HOUSE WITH TOO MANY ROOMS STILL HAS ONE FRONT DOOR I may leave your lamp unattended But I never love you less for more [Outro] Leave the light on. I’ll come back through.
