My Parents Place
We broke the window behind the old futon
My grandfather slept on it some nights
We didn't know it then but
Life was simpler when we were younger
I wish I could capture the scent of my mothers hair
I'd put it in a jar if I could
And dad's cologne always lingered in the air
After he left for work
Oh when did this happen
Never thought I would say
I'm not heading home
I'm going to my parent's place
The dogs waited at the top of the stairs for us
And watched us sit at the table and eat
They watched us grow as they got old
They were there for it all
From when they were younger
Oh when did this happen
Never thought I would say
I'm not heading home
I'm going to my parent's place
Christmas eve always filled the house with laughter
And yelling from my grandmother to her son
Now there's empty chairs
A lot more now
Than when we were younger
This house remembers more than I ever could
Every conversation, every smile
Its more than just walls and window panes
It kept us safe, It kept us together
Oh when did this happen
Never thought I would say
I'm not heading home
Oh how did this happen
What am I saying
It'll always be home
I love this place
My grandfather slept on it some nights
We didn't know it then but
Life was simpler when we were younger
I wish I could capture the scent of my mothers hair
I'd put it in a jar if I could
And dad's cologne always lingered in the air
After he left for work
Oh when did this happen
Never thought I would say
I'm not heading home
I'm going to my parent's place
The dogs waited at the top of the stairs for us
And watched us sit at the table and eat
They watched us grow as they got old
They were there for it all
From when they were younger
Oh when did this happen
Never thought I would say
I'm not heading home
I'm going to my parent's place
Christmas eve always filled the house with laughter
And yelling from my grandmother to her son
Now there's empty chairs
A lot more now
Than when we were younger
This house remembers more than I ever could
Every conversation, every smile
Its more than just walls and window panes
It kept us safe, It kept us together
Oh when did this happen
Never thought I would say
I'm not heading home
Oh how did this happen
What am I saying
It'll always be home
I love this place
