Yellow House

Verse 1

Staring at the ceiling fan again

Wondering where you're sleeping now

Half my brain still saves a seat for you

The other half forgot to eat today

Called your name into an empty room

Sounded like a stranger's voice

I still fold my hands like you might walk in

Frozen in a photograph of us

Pre-Chorus

And I know

I know

I should be packing up your sweater

And I know

I know

Chorus

But I still want the life we planned

The yellow house, the quiet street

I still want the life we planned

Even knowing you're not coming back

Even knowing I should let you go

Drop

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

I rehearse the version where we stayed

Different ending, same old ache

Some nights I'm the one who walked away

Some nights I'm the one who couldn't stay

Drive past the diner on eighth

Where we split a plate of fries

Now I order two and eat alone

And let the second plate go cold

Pre-Chorus

And I know

I know

Every road just loops me back here

And I know

I know

Chorus

But I still want the life we planned

The yellow house, the quiet street

I still want the life we planned

Even knowing you're not coming back

Even knowing I should let you go

Bridge

Softer than I meant to

Lonelier than I admit

You were summer, you were certain

Now you're just a habit I can't quit

Softer than I meant to

Lonelier than I admit

Chorus

But I still want the life we planned

The yellow house, the quiet street

I still want the life we planned

Even knowing you're not coming back

Even knowing I should let you go

Drop

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
