House By The Sea Lyrics - Set The House On Fire - Moddi

They say home is the place where your heart is 

Then I am home now, though I am far away 

For so long I've let the forest guard it 

And now it's begging me to stay 

And I'm trying my best to be tough 

To pretend I am strong and can siphon it off 

But I'm not who I wanted to be 

In my heart I belong in a house by the sea 

They say home is a place where you're needed 

Then I am home now, but I am leaving 

To feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed 

And I will be silent and kiss it back 

This is not who I want you to see 

It's just adding on weight to the darkness in me 

And from the little I have understood 

I believe that a house by the sea would do good 

They say home is a place you can choose to be 

And I've decided to carry home inside me 

So it's not really as if I am leaving 

It's more like something pulling me 

Because behind everything that I do 

I just want to forget, want to carry this through 

Fill my lungs with the sweet summer air 

In my heart, in my mind I am already there 

Yeah behind everything that I do 

I just want to come home and lay down beside you 

And then I'll be who I wanted to be 

In my heart I belong in a house by the sea
