House up in Claremont
Where I used to live
Picked the lock on the front door

And felt it give

Touch nothing move nothing stand still

Keep my ears open for cars
See how the people here live now
Hope they're better at it than I was


I used to live .. here (4x)


Pictures up on the mantle
Nobody I know
I, stand by the tiny furnace

Where the long shadows grow

Living room to bedroom to kitchen

Familiar and warm
Hours we spent starving within these walls
Sounds of a distant storm


I used to live .. here (4x)


Fight through the ghosts in the hallway
Duck and weave
Stand by the door with my eyes closed

When it's time to leave

Steal home before sunset

Cover up my tracks
Drive home with old dreams of play in my mind
And the wind at my back

Break the lock on my own garden gate
When I get home after dark
Sit looking up at the stars outside

Like teeth in the mouth of a shark

I used to live .. here (4x)
