[Verse 1] Laura brought me to the door, Seven years behind me. “Can we keep her?” was all she asked, They made a little room for me. Four grown hearts, two little boys, More broken than we’d say. Funny how that tiny house Could hold us all that way. [Chorus] That house knew everything about us, Every secret, every scar. Who was leaving, who was grieving, Who forgot who they were. Those walls heard every midnight cry And every morning after. We thought that we were holding on, That house was holding us. [Verse 2] Coffee at the kitchen table, Candle smoke and old rock songs. Somebody crying, somebody laughing, No one had to hide for long. I’d crawl in beside Laura, Read until the hurt let go. We didn’t know how to save each other, We just never let go. [Chorus] That house knew everything about us, Every secret, every scar. Who was leaving, who was grieving, Who forgot who they were. Those walls heard every midnight cry And every morning after. We thought that we were holding on, That house was holding us. [Bridge] Then one day the rooms felt smaller, One by one, we found our way. Maybe houses know when you’re ready, Maybe that’s why you cannot stay. [Final Chorus] That house knew everything about us And loved us as we were. Held the pieces while we healed, Till we could stand alone. Years have carried us away, But I swear I still can feel it— We thought that we were keeping house, That house was keeping us. [Outro] We thought that we were keeping house, That house was keeping us.
