[Verse 1]
Dust on the window
Key in my hand
But the lock is gone
Name on the mailbox
Faded like the number on the door
[Chorus]
I wanna go back to that old house
Where the floorboards knew my name
Where the cracks in the paint
Held the weight of every day
I carry it around like a photograph
Folded in my chest somehow
I wanna go back to that old house
And learn how to stand up now
[Verse 2]
Echo in the hallway
Laughing on the stairs that aren't there
Coffee cup in my palm
I swear I still smell August in the air
[Chorus]
I wanna go back to that old house
Where the floorboards knew my name
Where the cracks in the paint
Held the weight of every day
I carry it around like a photograph
Folded in my chest somehow
I wanna go back to that old house
And learn how to stand up now
[Bridge]
Maybe it's gone
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe the walls live on in my voice
If I get strong
If I hold on
I'll build it again with every choice
[Chorus]
I wanna go back to that old house
Where the floorboards knew my name
Where the cracks in the paint
Held the weight of every day
I won't live forever in the past
But I won't let it fade out now
I’m bringing that old house with me
Every time I grow back up somehow
