This House

verse 1

This house, on this quiet street
This house, in this neighborhood we love
See our beautiful life we have built
In this house

This house, with its creaks and moans
This house, and it's quirky layout
The orange sunrise through the picture window
It glows

chorus 1

Though it shows a little wear and tear
Evidence of all the life that happened there
It's obvious that we're not millionaires
In this house, our house

verse 2

This house, and its forest friends
Bird nests among the family of deer
All the many trees my parents' age
At this house

These years with our growing kids
We shed tears for our aging pets
All the arguments and celebrations here
In this house, our house

chorus 1

Though it shows a little wear and tear
Evidence of all the life that happened there
It's obvious that we're not millionaires
In this house, our house

chorus 2

It's not new it's not a cookie cutter
A patchy roof and a leaky gutter
We do our best to care for one another
In this house, our house
