When the House Lights Up lyrics

The kettle hisses in the morning I fold my shirt, I tie my shoes But your name slips through the silence And the walls remember you Every switch is pulled without my hand The windows breathe, the hallway holds When the house lights up, it blinds me still Every corner knows the love I failed to fill Chairs accusing, floors that shake A home alive with my mistakes I hear the echoes of your breathing The bed misses how you used to sigh in pleasure The bathroom hides a strand of your hair Your shadow pulls me back inside The silence bends, it almost sings The air recalls the shape of things When the house lights up, it blinds me still Every corner knows the love I failed to fill Chairs accusing, floors that shake A home alive with my mistakes If I had stayed and held the beams Could we have built a steadier dream? Now I stand outside the glow A stranger to the place I know When the house lights up, it burns my skin All the rooms remind me where I've been Shadows rising, even the carpet aches A home that only lives in me The house lights up And it calls your name
