Sticks & Stones Lyrics

Maybe I was confused

Thinking that there was more

I would have to lose

Maybe I was afraid

Letting go of all

Tied to one place

I confess, I was a bit selfish

Protective of our space

I guess maybe I just expected

This to go away

A house is only sticks and stones

That's what I've come to know

Some on the go

Find peace out on the road

But that don't mean that they're alone

As we reside

On borrowed time

The truth I'll hold

Was always you that made it home

You're what made it home

Maybe I always knew

That there would come a day

We'd have to start anew

I thought if I kept it out of mind

I'd never have to say goodbye

Like out of sight

Would make it easy to leave behind

I confess, I felt a bit helpless

Like it was my problem to save

In hindsight, I guess I rejected

Things would have to change

A house is only sticks and stones

That's what I've come to know

Some on the go

Find peace out on the road

But that don't mean that they're alone

As we reside

On borrowed time

The truth I'll hold

Was always you that made it home

What we have written in memory

Doesn't belong to any street

I'll keep it safe with me

Forever it holds a residence

Cul-de-sac home inside my head

That's how it'll be for me

Cuz now I see that

A house is only sticks and stones

That's what I've come to know

Some on the go

Find peace out on the road

But that don't mean that they're alone

As we reside

On borrowed time

The truth I'll hold

Was always you that made it home

You're what made it home

Maybe what they say is true

There really are some things

You're never gonna lose
