​just a house

[Verse 1]
I used to just walk in and
Now I gotta knock on the door
I'm parking in the street now and
My muddy tennis shoes ain't on the porch

[Pre-Chorus]
And now my bedroom's just my brother's mess
I feel like I'm a hotel guest
It's always just the way it goes, I guess

[Chorus]
But I can't say I don't miss it
When I go back and visit
It's 'bout the same but something's changed
Since I've been on my own
Yeah it might be where I started
But now it's only where half my heart is
'Cause I grew up and I moved out
And just like that now home is just a house

[Verse 2]
I know I used to live there
'Cause I'm in every picture on the wall
Back when I had brown hair
And I picked up a guitar to get away from it all, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Now it's quiet in my living room
And I love my place, I really do

[Chorus]
But I can't say I don't miss it
When I go back and visit
It's 'bout the same but something's changed
Since I've been on my own
Yeah it might be where I started
But now it's only where half my heart is
'Cause I grew up and I moved out
And just like that now home is just a house
It's just a house

[Bridge]
I know that's how it's supposed to be
Put twenty down for a front door key
And a welcome mat, greener grass
There ain't no way I'd trade all that

[Outro]
'Cause I finally did it
It's a whole lot different
Bought this couch, it's freedom how
I call it all my own
Yeah this brand new life I started
That's where my heart is
I moved out, went ten miles south
This place is so much more than just a house
It ain't just a house
