House with a Garden

I'm sick of the small talk and head games and fakes
The prettiest parties all feel more like wakes
Emptiness awkwardness we should escape
A house with a garden
A sunroom
A place

To read book after book
Curl up in a nook by the window
Watch the rain roll in and cook pasta and fish
And clean up the dishes
Celebrate Christmas in mistletoe bliss
Play an old record
Paint a room yellow
Oh I'd never let go of something like this

In all of the racket the music is drowned
Lеt's go where it's quiet
Whеre we can't be found
If I drew a map of one place I'd go to
A house with a garden
A porch light and you

We'll read book after book
Curl up in a nook by the window
Watch the rain roll in and cook pasta and fish
And clean up the dishes
Celebrate Christmas in mistletoe bliss
Play an old record
Paint a room yellow
Oh I'd never let go of something like

I'm spending my whole life
Where whimsy and wilderness bloom
Let's steal away tonight
And walk til we come to
A house with a garden, a sapphire sky
That stretches before us for miles and miles
I'll wake up to your footsteps
Earl gray and your smile
And we'll laugh 'til our bellies hurt
And dance 'til we're tired

Won't it be nice
In autumn the leaves will turn crimson and gold
The past becomes skeletons that melt with the snow
But the jokers and jesters that dress up as kings
Still envy their brothers and kisses on rings
I hope that they see
I hope they catch on
There's more to this song
Who will you be
When the last verse is sung
When the glitter's all gone
