If these walls could talk, would they comfort me?
Would they tell me 'bout the lovers that they've lived to see?
If these walls could talk, would they listen to
To every little secret, every hidden truth?
On those harder days, when they're closing in
Will they put me back together 'cause they know where I've been?
If these walls could talk, would they be a friend?
Like a time machine, searching in the cracks for the memories
And it's bittersweet, 'cause some things never change
So, each time I fall
Each time I wonder where to go
I'll remember to come back home
And when I'm cold, just skin and bone, lost
And I'm looking for the fire in the corner to bring me home
They'd know what to say, if these walls could talk
'Cause these walls were there, for my first love
From the nervous touch to a broken heart
And they heard me cry, when I lost a friend
Taught me even the best things come to an end
My time machine, they know all the worst and best of me
And it's bittersweet, each time I gotta leave
And so, each time I fall
Each time I wonder where to go
I'll remember to come back home
And when I'm cold, just skin and bone, lost
And I'm looking for the fire in the corner to bring me home
They'd know what to say, if these walls could talk

They've seen it all before, if these walls could talk

They've seen it all before, if these walls could talk
I'm just passing through
But when my lights go out
I know that they'll still be standing for someone new
When I'm cold, just skin and bone, lost
And I'm looking for the fire in the corner to bring me home
When I wonder where to go, I'll remember to come back home
It don't matter where I've been or where I'm going
It's always home
They'd know what to say, if these walls could...
