lyrics

I’m sorry there’s no couch
But we can curl up on the floor
I can’t play these old records
But I have this guitar

I’m sure you must be hungry
I don’t have a lot to eat
And all I have are mismatched dishes
A friend didn’t want to keep

But a house is not a home
If I can’t be with you
Baby, let’s turn down the lights
And start our life anew

I got to pick up a shower curtain
But I can run you a bath
I only have this one clean towel
But I can use the other half

Here, let me make the bed
And turn off my alarm
So, we can settle in for tonight
Into each other’s arms

But a house is not a home
If I can’t be with you
Baby, let’s turn down the lights
And start our love anew
