I never thought I could live here on my own
 But then I guess everybody'got to live somewhere
 Four tins of paint made this our home
 Oh I got less on the walls than I got in my hair

 When we moved in here the dog was still a pup
 Oh do you remember the time he chewed those curtains that we found?
 I laughed the day you put them up
 The day you left I tore them down

 Don't laugh, don't even sigh
 I touched your skin last night
 But your half of the bed was empty
 And so I guess I must have dreamt it
 I don't know why
 Don't laugh, don't even try
 I touched your skin last night
 I didn't fall asleep til morning
 And then the next day I couldn't stop yawning
 Oh how I try

 And these bedroom walls are paper thin
 You took a side in every neighbor's row
 And those kids next door make such a din
 But sitting here it seems ever so quiet now
