"House Lights" lyrics

The pictures in your hallway
The sayings on your wall
Your house light in the evening
It stays on all fall
And everybody's dressing up
They're making fancy drinks
There's crystal and fine china
I wonder what sound does it make when it breaks?

I really don't want to recall
Why I'm so scared of it all
No I really don't want to know
Where all my friends will go
Did you weave me through your dreams
Just to keep me around somewhere
I'm looking into your eyes
But I'm not really there
I'm not really there

Your boyfriend back in high school
Seemed like a decent man
I heard you gave him the runaround
I heard that he moved to Berlin
You get the same look every time
Somebody mentions him

I really don't want to recall
Why I'm so scared of it all
No I really don't want to know
Where all my friends will go
Did you weave me through your dreams
Just to keep me around somewhere
I'm looking into your eyes
But I'm not really there

It's not that I don't care
But I'm not really there

It could've been the right thing
But this is the wrong way to prove it
It could've been the right thing
But this is the wrong way to prove it
It could've been the right thing
But this is the wrong way to prove it
It could've been the right thing
But this is the wrong way to prove it, yeah
