[Verse 1] I drew a house with every door unlocked A long table, room enough to talk You’d bring your laugh, they’d bring their stubborn grace And nobody would have to choose a place [Pre-Chorus] I’d keep the kettle warm, the windows wide Let every dear one come and sit inside [Chorus] If I could build a home for everyone I love I’d set a place for all of us, enough is enough No one gets a deed to the people they hold We’d share the same shelter, not turn hearts to gold But love gets called a claim, a key, a name So we keep dreaming rooms that won’t divide the flame [Verse 2] You say, “Be mine,” like care can draw a line Like all my tenderness must fit one sign But every heart I carry has its own true shape I won’t make one beloved another’s escape [Pre-Chorus] I’d keep the kettle warm, the windows wide Let every dear one come and sit inside [Chorus] If I could build a home for everyone I love I’d set a place for all of us, enough is enough No one gets a deed to the people they hold We’d share the same shelter, not turn hearts to gold But love gets called a claim, a key, a name So we keep dreaming rooms that won’t divide the flame [Bridge] There’d be no ledger, no locked-away room No asking one bright thing to make another move Just different voices sharing one roofline A little more than yours, a little less than mine [Final Chorus] If I could build a home for everyone I love I’d set a place for all of us, enough is enough No one gets a deed to the people they hold We’d share the same shelter, keep every door unclosed But love gets called a claim, a key, a name Still I can see that house, though it may stay a dream [Outro] I can see that house Every door unclosed
