Charli XCX - House Lyrics

Charli XCX Lyrics

"House"
(feat. John Cale)
(from "Wuthering Heights" soundtrack)

Can I speak to you privately for a moment?
I just want to explain
Explain the circumstances
I find myself in
What and who I really am

I'm a prisoner
To live for eternity
I was thinking, "What is this place?"
I thought it would be perfect
I thought
I want it to be perfect
Please
Let it be perfect

Am I living in another world?
Another world I created
For what?
If it's beauty
Do you see beauty?
If there's beauty
Say it's enough

I think I'm gonna die in this house
I think I'm gonna die in this house
I think I'm gonna die in this house
I think I'm gonna die in this house

I think I'm gonna die in this hou—, house
I think I'm gonna die in this house
I think I'm gonna die in this house
I think I'm gonna die in this house

In every room
I hear silence

"House" is the first single from Charli XCX's soundtrack album to the film "Wuthering Heights" (2026). She said about her contribution to the film, "When I think of Wuthering Heights, I think of many things. I think of passion and pain. I think of England. I think of the Moors. I think of the mud and the cold. I think of determination and grit." The song and its music video were released on the 10th of November, 2025

This collaboration between Charli XCX and John Cale has its roots in the Cale's description that any song had to be both "elegant and brutal" from the documentary about The Velvet Underground. She wrote in a statement, "When working on music for this film, 'elegant and brutal' was a phrase I kept coming back to. [...] I decided to reach out to him to get his opinion on the songs that his phrase had so deeply inspired, but also to see whether he might want to collaborate on any."
