“Our Own House” is the lead single and title track to MisterWives' debut full-length album, Our Own House. It is a love song about finding “the one”, and solidifying that relationship by building a metaphorical home.
[Verse 1]
Came in like the breeze
I felt it in my knees
Never will it leave
Each day, it is retrieved
Seems like yesterday
Your eyes crept this way
Into my soul, you stared
And brought down every fear
[Chorus]
We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore, on that day
That it'll never fall apart
We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore, on that day
That it'll never fall apart
[Post-Chorus]
We'll never fall apart
We'll never fall apart
With our hands over our hearts
We'll never fall apart
[Verse 2]
Wake up to the sun
Clouds always come undone
You give the light I need
Like water to a seed
Read it in a tale
One too tall to be real
And proved me wrong, it seems
A heart can truly gleam
[Chorus]
We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore, on that day
That it'll never fall apart
We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore, on that day
That it'll never fall apart
[Post-Chorus]
We'll never fall apart
We'll never fall apart
With our hands over our hearts
We'll never fall apart
[Bridge]
Take it all, take it away
We'll still have this undying
Love that is beating
'Til our lungs stop breathing
Take it all, take it away
We'll still have our riches
No need for stitches
'Cause love mends the pain
Take it all, take it away (love mends the pain)
So take it all, take it away (love mends the pain)
So take it all, take it away (love mends the pain)
So take it all, take it away
Take it all
[Chorus]
We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore, on that day
That it'll never fall apart
[Outro]
We'll never fall apart
We'll never fall apart
With our hands over our hearts
We'll never fall apart
