"Our House"

Several years ago, I wrote a shitty song and published it on the internet. It was a mistake. I was proud of it despite its vile subject matter. That was also a mistake. (But hey, you can use the word “mistake” to describe most of my life.) Since then I have tried to ignore this horrid song to no avail. The only thing I can do to remedy—excuse me, attempt to remedy—the damage caused by this song is to write another one that comes from the heart and is inspired by someone truly worthy and events that truly happened. Now look, I’m not a songwriter, but I tried my best. I did this in just under three hours, so be kind.

Tyler, this is yours. Merry Christmas.

Written to the tune of “Wildest Dreams” by Taylor Swift.
(I really, really can’t write music.)

Our House

Will you take a walk with me
Down the gravel road
Where no one else can see
There’s a place I wanna take you to
We can be alone
Somewhere just for me and you

Empty house
On a hill
Come with me
I know you will
Through the dark
And the weeds
You’re everything I need

Kiss me, sweetly, everywhere
Fill my soul with your love
You’re everything I’ve dreamed of, dear
Take me and make me all yours
You’re the one I live for
Oh baby, how we’ve made this
Our house now
It’s our house now

I’ve felt nothing like this before
Your touch makes me so weak
There’s nothing I want more
Tasting every inch of your flesh
I’ll take you to heaven
I’m gonna leave you breathless

Empty house
On a hill
Return with me
I know you will
I’ll take your hand,
Follow your lead,
You’re all I’ll ever need

Kiss me, deeply, everywhere
Lay me on the wood floor
Cover me with your warmth, dear
Your hands burning my skin
Gonna take you all in
Oh baby, you can’t deny this is
Our house now
It’s our house now

Looking in your brown eyes
Feeling like I could fly
So hold me tight
My hands in your dark hair
Feeling this love so rare
Now I’ve seen the light

Looking in your brown eyes
Feeling like I could fly
Hold me tight
My hands in your dark hair
Feeling this love so rare
Now I’ve seen the light

Kiss me, sweetly, everywhere
Fill my soul with your love
You’re everything I’ve dreamed of, dear
Take me and make me all yours
You’re the one I live for
The one I feel in my core

Kiss me, deeply, everywhere
Lay me on the wood floor
Cover me with your warmth, dear
Your hands burning my skin
Gonna take you all in
Oh baby, can’t deny this is
Our house now
It’s our house now

Baby let’s take a walk to
Our house
It’s our house now
