Derelict Lyrics

My heart is my house

And I'd left mine condemned

My will had run out

Mmmm, It wasn't living

My windows were broken in

My excuses were paper thin

Love runs the floorboards

Someone's moving in

I hadn't visited myself in years

But someone's in the basement

You knocked down all my walls

And you renovated all my halls

The other day I saw you in the master bedroom

And I hope to see you again soon

The years have been kind to me

Though I was unkind to you

Like wind in the rafters of a derelict house

I perceive something moving through

Forgiveness is my companion

It'll haunt me to the end of my days

Forgiveness, it goes around

You were picking me up when I was letting you down

Love runs the floor boards

Someone's moving in

I hadn't visited myself in years

Someone's in the basement

You knocked down all my walls

And you renovated all my halls

The other day I saw you in the master bedroom

And I hope to see you again soon

Love runs the floor boards (oh)

Someone's moving in

I hadn't visited myself in years

Someone's in the basement

You knocked down all my walls

And you renovated all my halls

The other day I saw you in the master bedroom

And I hope to see you again soon

Love runs the floor boards (oh)

Someone's moving in

I hadn't visited myself in years

Someone's in the basement

You knocked down all my walls

And you renovated all my halls

The other day I saw you in the master bedroom

And I hope to see you again soon
