House I Used to Call Home

It was here on this floor that I learned to crawl

And I took my first steps in the upstairs hall

Crazy back then how it seemed so big to me

I can still see the marks on the closet door

Mom and dad started measuring me at four

That was always my favorite spot for hide and seek

So to whoever lives next

I have only one request

Promise me that you’ll take care of the place that knew me best

I’ll pack my memories and go

So you’ll have room to make your own

Just be good to the house that I used to call home

There’s the window where I would sneak out at night

Had my first kiss right under the back porch light

When she broke my heart, didn’t leave my room for weeks

18, backing out of the driveway

Even though everything was about to change

It’d be there at the end of the street waiting for me

So to whoever lives next

I have only one request

Promise me that you’ll take care of the place that knew me best

I’ll pack my memories and go

So you’ll have room to make your own

Just be good to the house that I used to call home

I’ll pack my memories and go

So you’ll have room to make your own

Just be good to the house that I used to call home

Now I’ve gathered my things in a cardboard box

Found the old blanket I thought was lost

It’s the last time that I’ll feel this floor under my feet

As I’m leaving, this house never looked so small to me
