If These Walls Could Talk

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...
