lyrics

The last house on the left feels just like home
But I'm not in the meadow, I'm all on my own
The windows aren't level but most times I don't even care
Questions are formed, passing over the bridge
Like, 'why am I breathing If home is where the heart is?'
I don't get why I'm so content looking across the sound

Letting go is part of getting older
And sometimes the ropes cut themselves
The braids will tear and fray
All the grip will slip away
But I'm still holding on
To myself

Only phone calls and pictures prevent disconnection
From those who I still feel some affection for
There's not many but who's to blame
Despite fictionality it hurts more to see
Characters we grew up disappear from TV
Unlike those in my life what they stood for was real
Unlike those in my life they gave me something to feel
