Nieman - Sticks & Stones

Maybe I was confused
Thinking that there was more
I would have to lose

Maybe I was afraid
Letting go of all
Tied to one place

I confess, I was a bit selfish
Protective of our space
I guess maybe I just expected
This to go away

A house is only sticks and stones
That's what I've come to know
Some on the go
Find peace out on the road
But that don't mean that they're alone

As we reside
On borrowed time
The truth I'll hold
Was always you that made it home
You're what made it home

Maybe I always knew
That there would come a day
We'd have to start anew

I thought if I kept it out of mind
I'd never have to say goodbye
Like out of sight
Would make it easy to leave behind

I confess, I felt a bit helpless
Like it was my problem to save
In hindsight, I guess I rejected
Things would have to change

A house is only sticks and stones
That's what I've come to know
Some on the go
Find peace out on the road
But that don't mean that they're alone

As we reside
On borrowed time
The truth I'll hold
Was always you that made it home

What we have written in memory
Doesn't belong to any street
I'll keep it safe with me

Forever it holds a residence
Cul-de-sac home inside my head
That's how it'll be for me
Cuz now I see that

A house is only sticks and stones
That's what I've come to know
Some on the go
Find peace out on the road
But that don't mean that they're alone

As we reside
On borrowed time
The truth I'll hold
Was always you that made it home
You're what made it home

Maybe what they say is true
There really are some things
You're never gonna lose
