Devon Halliday - 15 Elizabeth

15 Elizabeth, you take me home
Here where our mothers said, when you know you'll know
By the cathedral, the broken barn
Parked on the hill was a false alarm
We whispered back and forth: do you know? Do you know?
Do you know if we're supposed to feel close to the life we've dreamed up?
I feel close enough

Oh take me home
There's a garden out back with a view
We've got plates and utensils for two
There's a carpet we'll someday replace
There's a mischievous look on your face
There are mornings still, I'm not sure I know or if I ever will
Where this can go
So I drive round this city until I find my way home to 15 Elizabeth

You take my coat
Ask what I'm thinking, I'm sorry, I don't know
Only they told me it goes by fast
But I keep growing up and it never lasts
Counting up lessons like, have I learned?
Have I learned? Am I good to you now?
Am I cured of irrational fear?
I am when you're here

Let's just go home
There's a garden out back with a view
We've got plates and utensils for two
There's a carpet I wanna replace
An unreadable look on your face
There are mornings still, I'm not sure I know or if I ever will
How much to say
So I pace round our kitchen until you open your arms at 15 Elizabeth

If you don't leave now, you may never get out
If you don't leave now, we might figure this out
If you don't leave now, I'll give up all these doubts
If you don't leave now, I guess you want me around

Oh take me home
There's a garden all covered in snow
As a teakettle sings on the stove
And you're stoking the old fireplace
With an infinite look on your face
There are mornings still, I'm not sure I know or if I ever will
What we can take
So keep your arm round my shoulders
Until we know that we know on 15 Elizabeth
