From the recording The Weight Of All This Hope
Lyrics
My heart is a one room house
One door in and one door out
I wash my hands in the kitchen sink
And I think about tomorrow
Maybe I should plant some trees
I got a furnace but no AC
I crack a window and feel the breeze
I get lost here in my sorrow
Some people livin’ in these mansions on the hills
High ceilings always freaked me out
Some people travel, just looking for a thrill
But I am telling you, my heart is a one room house
Got a mattress with worn out springs
A tea kettle that rarely sings
Most nights there’s vacancy
Even though it just takes one
Maybe it’s that the blinds are closed
It’s hard to spot from the nearest road
Uneven cobblestone
It just bakes under the sun
Some people livin’ in these mansions on the hills
High ceilings always freaked me out
Some people travel, just looking for a thrill
But I am telling you, my heart is a one room house
And finally
I cleared the baggage out
So you can make yourself at home
And when you leave
I’ll need some time to clean
Some time to let you go
Some people livin’ in these mansions on the hills
High ceilings always freaked me out
Some people travel, just looking for a thrill
But I am telling you, my heart is a one room house
