A HOUSE WITH TOO MANY ROOMS

[Intro: piano, creaking door]

[Verse 1]
My heart became a house somehow
And every person built a room
One filled up with summer mornings
One still smells of cheap perfume

There are rooms for long conversations
Rooms for dancing after two
Rooms I never knew I needed
Until one belonged to you

[Pre-Chorus]
But there’s only one of me
Walking every hall

[Chorus]
I BUILT A HOUSE WITH TOO MANY ROOMS
AND I LOVE EVERY LIGHT

But I cannot sit beside each window
Every single night

If your room goes quiet
Please don’t think I’ve gone

I’m somewhere down another hallway
Trying to keep the whole house warm

[Bridge: orchestral swell]
Maybe love keeps adding stories
Maybe that’s the beautiful curse
More doors open
More hearts enter
One caretaker doing their worst

[Final Chorus]
A HOUSE WITH TOO MANY ROOMS
STILL HAS ONE FRONT DOOR

I may leave your lamp unattended
But I never love you less for more

[Outro]
Leave the light on.
I’ll come back through.
