​counting houses

[Verse 1]
All these eyes from the side under blue lights
Making you confused, I'm selfish, I know
That now's not the time, I‘m 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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
No oh
No woah oh oh oh
You know, we could frame it and hang it upon the wall

[Verse 2]
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 pillowcases in shades that you're fond of
Tiles in the hallway made out of gold
Eventually, we'll have a place and well insulated, so

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Let them cast their doubt
We can live without
All their thoughts around
We've been through it now
Patience has run out
We'll prevail somehow

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
No oh
No woah oh oh oh
You know, we could frame it and hang it up on the wall
You know, we could frame it and hang it up on the wall
