just a house Songtext
von Alana Springsteen

I used to just walk in, now I got a knock on the door
I′m parkin' in the street now, my muddy tennis shoes ain′t on the porch
Now my bedroom's just my brother's mess, I feel like I′m a hotel guest
It′s always just the way it goes, I guess

But I can't say I don′t miss it when I go back and visit
It's about the same, but something′s changed since I've been on my own
Yeah, it might be where I started, but now it′s only where half my heart is
'Cause I grew up, and I moved out, and just like that now home is just a house

I know I used to live there, 'cause I′m in every picture on the wall
Back when I had brown hair and I picked up a guitar to get away from it all
Ooh
And now it′s quiet in my living room
And I love my place, I really do


But I can't say that I don′t miss it when I go back and visit
It's about the same, but something′s changed since I've been on my own
Yeah, it might be where I started, but now it′s only where half my heart is
'Cause I grew up, and I moved out and just like that now home is just a house
It's just a house

I know that′s how it′s supposed to be
Put 20 down for a front door key
And a welcome at greener grass
And there ain't no way I′d trade all that

'Cause I finally did it, it′s a whole lot different
Bought this couch, it's freedom how I call it on my own
Yeah, this brand-new life I started, that′s where my heart is
I moved out, went in my style
This place is so much more than just a house
It ain't just a house
