Josh Pyke - Our House Breathing lyrics

rate me

May we not grow weary

May we not be sold

May I lean into you

Till they send me home

And the house came alive in the heat

All the curtains sucked to the screens

Then they billowed back out into the hallways

As if our house was breathing

And the floor boards creak in the stairwell

Conversationally

But I was out the back in the garden

Waiting for you to come home to me

And your nightdress left on the floor

While you were in the bath downstairs

And I held the cloth to my face

And I filled my lungs with your scent

Because we knew that I’d be leaving

And we knew that you’d stay home

It was as if our house was grieving

As I just stood there breathing you in
