Lawrence

I had a house on 12th street
I lived there when I was young
And though I was bored in Ohio
I won't tell you that that's where I'm from

No, I am from a brothel
Legally in Tennessee
Seven girls in four bedrooms
A red couch, a full moon
Three birds in the chimney, and me

But time keeps falling through my fingers
Crawling toward my
Deepest fear
I don't wanna lose you

Oh, we held each other
And we sheltered our friends through the rain
And no matter where I go through the years
It won't ever be the same again

This is not the house that I built
And this house never built me
Because without the souls inside of it
What's a house, but a hallowed-out tree

And we never learned to walk here
We emerged as if out of the sea
Wobbly legs, but ready to run
Together, and just turn 19

And I just wanna fly
And then answer who am I
Without you?
I don't wanna lose you

Oh, we held each other
And we sheltered our friends through the rain
And no matter where I go through the years
It won't ever be the same again

Oh, we held each other
And we're going but one thing remains
And no matter where I go through the years
I will never be the same
Again

(Never)
(Going in there? Keep going)
(Go in, go in)
(Never)
(Will never)
(Will never)
