the piano makes the sound you play so quietly
these love notes, letter bombs
you send them back to me
doors and windows break
but not this melody
these not so subtle signs
this house can't make us stay

didn't i warn you, didn't you want to
make me feel this way
didn't i warn you

you know i've loved you from the start
but this house can't make you stay
sometimes these things just fall apart
we might never be the same
maybe i can never be everything you'll ever need
but i can put my arms around you

if we tear this down, line up every stone
will memory disconnect us
from all that came before
cause sometimes our own hearts rewrite these histories
to keep themselves from breaking
is that all we need

didn't you warn me
didn't i want to
make you feel the same
didn't you want me

you know i've loved you from the start
but this house can't make you stay
sometimes these things just fall apart
could we ever be the same
maybe i can never be everything you'll ever need
but i could put my arms around you

something here's still beautiful
something only we know
nothing's lost if we can find it in time

call up the general
call in the major
we need you now
weren't there warnings from headquarters oh no
call up your mother
call in the tigers

you know i've loved you from the start
no this house can't make us stay
but sometimes these things just fall apart
this will never be the same
maybe i can never be everything you'll ever need
but i can wrap my arms around you
maybe you can never be everything i'll ever need
but could you put your arms around me

you know i've loved you from the start
but sometimes these things just fall apart
