House - lyricsVerse 1:
We were kids playing House in the backyard of my brain. You pushed me up against the sink and kissed me. Reality called, “Time for dinner”. I raced you to the door. Shattered my eyes and soul on your way out Shattered my eyes and soul on your way out Chorus: Oh my dear this is tearing me in two And the smaller half is the one that wants you I’m sorry, but it’s true Now ceilings are carpeted, I’m spinning so confused All of my heart loves you, but I’ve got a head too. Verse 2: We were kids saying we’d figure it out someday I crossed my fingers, You prayed “Someday come quickly” Took our picture in color, painted it black and grey Train my brain to think it’s been a while Time heals they said so it’s been a while Avoid the grief believe it’s been a while ... I can’t mourn anymore. Chorus: Oh my dear this is tearing me in two And the smaller half is the one that wants you I hate myself, but it’s true, it’s true Now ceilings are carpeted, I’m spinning so confused All of my heart loves you, but I’ve got a head too. Outro: If home is where the heart is Consider this girl homeless If home is where the heart is Consider this girl homeless

Pitter Patter - lyricsIntro:
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall rain slants down, the rain it falls keeping time to your story loll while you say nothing at all Verse 1: you sit with our cigarette ash under tin roofs and it feels like home we’re just in a nicotine dream of figurative means though the smoke it chokes you hide in your metaphors, your fancy words, all those gross abstractions speak out ‘bout a hero’s frailty but you never tell me, never tell me why why is it that you have to be some great, ancient mystery I’m resigned to watch the water, it doesn’t falter. such stark contradictions Chorus: Pitter, pitter patter on the wall rain slants down, the rain it falls keeping time to your story loll while you say nothing at all Pitter, pitter patter on the wall rain slants down, the rain it falls keeping time to your story loll while you say nothing at all (indistinct speaking over instrumental bridge) Verse 2: And I am the innocent one breathing in deep as you heave beside me speaking out with poetic tongue mask what you’ve done in manic ramblings we’re two blue centerlight pops and the world goes “ah”, but we miss with each other and you know oh you know you’ve hurt me but you blame gravity said you couldn't catch me even then I believe no one ever been so naive and as much as I’d love to hit you I’d rather kiss you no I’d rather miss you. Chorus: Pitter, pitter patter on the wall rain slants down, the rain it falls keeping time to your story loll while you say nothing at all Pitter, pitter patter on the wall rain slants down, the rain it falls keeping time to your story loll while you say nothing at all At least heavens opening up At least heavens opening up. |
