Nick Voelker - House Lyrics

Worn-out backyard under street light
These sweet nights
Will be my
Last chance to breathe this in
This cozy place where we have been
This house by the water and the trail
Where we would try, and we would fail
And wind would blow against our sails
Got dirt under our fingernails

Got everything that I would ever need
But at the time I couldn't see
That everything that I wanted to change
Would be the things I miss the most today

Lounging on the deck with the doggos
No tomorrow
Far from sorrow
Where'd your star go, has it fallen yet
Still where I left it last I checked
In the past I've said I need to leave
When back at home's where I'd wanna be
Now that house is someone else's dream
But I still slow down when I pass that street
It don't feel like any time at all
Since climbing trees for the basketball
I'd shoot for threes and miss them all
I'd blame the breeze
I'd scratch my knees
I'd walk around the water past the power lines
And up to somewhere you could see the city at night
Got music in my ears, and a dream in my eyes
Got things I wanna be and things I wanna disguise

Got everything that I would ever need
But at the time I couldn't see
That everything that I wanted to change
Would be the things I miss the most today

And now its just a faded memory
I feel only a portion of the energy
I wish that I could be that young kid again
Running with friends from elementary
No worrying or hurrying or figuring out
These overwhelming things that were dealing with now
I wish that I could be that young kid again
Running with friend 'til the sun goes down on a

Worn-out backyard under street light
These sweet nights
Will be my
Last chance to breathe this in
This home we've shared
This place we've lived
