Track: If My Heart Was a House

Lyrics
You're the sky that I fell through
And I remember the view
Whenever I'm holding you
The sun hung from a string
Looking down on the world as it warmed over everything
Chills run down my spine
As our fingers entwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine
Unmistakably I can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me.

We got older and I should have known
(Do you feel alive)
That I feel colder when I walk alone
(Oh but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
(Bombs away, bombs away)

Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass you'd be north
Risk it all 'cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house you'd be home.

It makes me smile because you said it best
I would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west
Flower balm perfume
All my clothes smell like you
Cause your favorite shade is navy blue

I walk slowly when I'm on my own
(Do you feel alive)
Yeah but frankly I still feel alone
(Oh but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
(Bombs away, bombs away)

Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass you'd be north
Risk it all 'cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house you'd be home.

If my heart was a house you'd be home.
