The Apartments - The House That We Once Lived In Lyrics

We’ll drive past one day
This will be the house that we once lived in
You and me, we don’t know what to say anymore
About the house that we once lived in

Inside the yellow light there a man puts his children to bed
No one knows what’s coming
Please don’t tell him what’s up ahead

The cardboard boxes by the side of the road
The rented truck is getting ready to load
The cardboard boxes by the side of the road
Are you ready to load?

The business was passing him by. He didn’t care. He knew it.
That light that’s gone from your eyes
Every chance he blew it

Oh the trees there are so tall now
They were planted when your first child was born
The swings in the yard are still there now
But the child and the flowers are gone

The cardboard boxes by the side of the road
The rented truck is getting ready to load
The cardboard boxes by the side of the road
Are you ready? Are you ready to go?

No I’m not ready to go
This is the house that he once lived in
And I’m not ready to go…

There are things that I might have done better
But I couldn’t have loved any more

The trees there are so tall now
They were planted when your first child was born
The swings in the yard are still there now
But the child and the flowers are not
The child, the flowers are not
