  • Well, this kitchen used to be a dance hall
    Music on and the lights off, just you and I
    Used to be perfume on your pillow
    New day through the window
    Bringing out the blue in your eyes
    Used to be four boots by the front door
    But two ain't there anymore

    And now it's just four empty walls
    Where I lay my head and get no rest at all
    The porch swing don't swing
    The doorbell don't ring
    And now it's just wood on concrete
    And numbers on a mailbox on a used to be street
    I guess you were right, I should've left when you did
    The house you made a home is now just a house again

    These days all I hear is an echo
    Of you saying, "Baby, don't go"
    And your goodbye
    If you came back you'd be surprised
    You wouldn't even recognize this place without you
    What the hell did you do? (What the hell did you do)

    'Cause now it's just four empty walls
    Where I lay my head and get no rest at all
    The porch swing don't swing
    The doorbell don't ring
    And now it's just wood on concrete
    And numbers on a mailbox on used to be street
    I guess you were right, I should've left when you did
    The house you made a home is now just a house again

    The kitchen used to be a dance hall
    With music on and the lights off

    But now it's just four empty walls
    Where I lay my head and get no rest at all
    The porch swing don't swing
    The doorbell don't ring
    And now it's just wood on concrete
    Numbers on a mailbox on used to be street
    I guess you were right, I should've left when you did
    The house you made a home is now just a house again Writer/s: Dan Alley, Hudson Westbrook, Neil Medley
