A House A Home by Escape Elliott Lyrics

[Chorus:]
You deserve a house, a home
But home is the place right behind your face
And you’re everywhere alone
If you’re not with yourself
Are you with yourself

I look the way I look
Because of the way I think
Still the same kid, the same room I grew up in
But the ceiling just dropped another inch or two
And the music can’t stop the screams from coming through

[Chorus]

I’m slowly being crushed
But I can’t go away
I cannot possibly leave this place
Knees against my chest, back against my bed
A tear through the posters of the heroes of my youth
And I see it all happen
My heroes turn human
The sky is the limit they said
While they pour cement right where we stand
Well then, how are we supposed to fly

A house, a home
With ceilings so low
Seems like Alice has outgrown her home


No matter where I am on earth
No matter where I am in life
On clear nights, the moon will still rise
Like a crooked smile, Cheshire cat
Saying everything will be just fine

The sky is the limit they said
While they pour cement right where we stand
Well then, how are we supposed to fly

[Chorus]

[Alt. Chorus:]
We deserve a house, a home
But home is the place right behind your face
And you’ll never be alone
If you’re with yourself
Are you with yourself
