Playing House Lyrics

Bed all aglow, 5AM light

Sheets turn blue-gray, close our eyes

Told me you loved me, but the music was so loud

You're embarrassed in the morning I can't figure you out

Tangled in your arms sinking into your breathing

Fingers in your hair trying to feel if you need me

We're on the same page but a paragraph apart

You rely on reason while I'm speaking from the heart

Oh we're just playing house

The walls are falling down

Half-life pictures yeah we're fading now

Like my number on your hand

Or the stain on your sweater

I still wait for you to love me better

Take love when you give love but not for show

Live in a lockbox of loose ends, it's all we know

Turning tiny gestures into stories I can tell

When you don't meet the minimum; a consolation to myself

Tangled in your arms sinking into your breathing

Fingers in your hair trying to feel if you need me

We're on the same page but a paragraph apart

You rely on reason while I'm speaking from the heart

Oh we're just playing house

The walls are falling down

Half-life pictures yeah we're fading now

Like my number on your hand

Or the stain on your sweater

I still wait for you to love me better

Oh we're just playing house

The walls are falling down

Half-life pictures yeah we're fading now

Like my number on your hand

Or the stain on your sweater

I still wait for you to love me better

Second chances turn to third and fourth

Can't loving me be easy? Don't want you to force it

If I want you bad enough I'll barely feel it hurt

Wait for you to catch up and hope we'll make it work

Oh we're just playing house

The walls are falling down

Half-life pictures yeah we're fading now

Oh we're just playing house

The walls are falling down

Half-life pictures yeah we're fading now

Like my number on your hand

Or the stain on your sweater

I still wait for you to love me better

Oh we're just playing house

The walls are falling down

Half-life pictures yeah we're fading now

Like my number on your hand

Or the stain on your sweater

I still wait for you to love me better
