"counting houses" lyrics

"counting houses"

All these eyes from the side under blue lights
Making you confused, I'm selfish, I know
That now's not the time, sure they wouldn't mind
If you'd wanna leave and follow me home
I know you'll be alright and I promise
You'll never have to get used to the cold
'Cause luckily I know some places well insulated, so

Into the city as we walked out the door
Removed your jacket and the silence you wore
That's all I ever ask you for
Oh no
Counting houses on the street where we lay
Devoid of colour and too neatly arranged
A scene we painted anyway

No, oh
No whoa, oh no, no, no, oh, oh no
Oh, no, no, no
You know, we could frame it and hang it up on the wall

When the leaves start to fall in the autumn
All that we sought will start to unfold
We can move to the sea like we wanted
Out of the forest into a home
With pillow cases in shades that you're fond of
Tiles in the hallway made out of gold
Eventually we'll have a place and well insulate it, so

Into the city as we walked out the door
Removed your jacket and the silence you wore
That's all I ever asked you for
Oh no
Counting houses on the street where we lay
Devoid of colour and too neatly arranged
A scene we painted anyway

Well, let them cast their doubt
We can live without
All their thoughts around

And we've been through it now
Patience has run out
We'll prevail somehow

Into the city as we walked out the door
Removed your jacket and the silence you wore
That's all I ever asked you for
Oh no
Counting houses on the street where we lay
Devoid of colour and too neatly arranged
A scene we painted anyway

No oh
No whoa, oh no, no, no, oh, oh no
Oh, no, no, no
You know, we could frame it and hang it up on the wall

Oh no, no, no, oh, oh no
Oh, no, no, no
You know, we could frame it and hang it up on the wall
