Housekeeper

Headlights chase the shadows away
Like approaching heatwaves on the road on your way
To a place tbd tbh you don't know
To a house on a hill you hope you can call home
All this to say I'm confused where to be
I mess up everyday and I fall on my knees
As my dream starts to fade and I yearn just to cry
'Cause I know what you did and I wanna show I tried

Hey hey hey
How have you been
I know you fell and I haven't seen your face since
This road isn't just some old cliche
It's a journey where two can find a way
This house is a sum-up of choices
Listen close to the joyous sound of a grateful people's voices
Isn't it strange that the Housekeeper's the one who's making the most joyful noise

Walking on the road feet hurting something awful
Then my footsteps turn into a stagger and a topple
And I cry out fearful of the impact ahead
Then someone grabs my arm and I lift up my head
Hallucinating possibly, 'cause I can see it's only me
And yet I'm back up on my feet the help was there the sight empty
I crest the hill up to the house the Housekeeper is smiling
The door is open I tell him the very thing I didn't see

Hey hey hey
How did it go
I already know but I wanna hear from your soul
This road isn't just some old cliche
It's a journey where two were meant to find a way
This house is so full of lone travelers
But the lonely can't stay they had someone looking after
Isn't it strange that the Housekeeper's the one who rarely will stay

I asked him how he knew the exact time that I would come
He just stopped and said to me I've been with you since day one
Though you felt you were alone I was with you by your side
You can't make it on your own this road is filled with those who've tried

I walked inside with him and saw others too
The pain all behind and a feeling that's new
That I can't describe though I felt I could rest
The Housekeeper led me right into his chest
And I cried

Hey hey hey
Didn't you hear
You're never alone you'll always have the Keeper near
This road isn't just some old cliche
It's a journey where two have found a way
This house is a sum-up of choices
Listen close to the joyous sound of a grateful people's voices
Isn't it strange that the Housekeeper's the one who's making the most joyful noise
