We Don't Live There Anymore

from Visitors by Shaina Taub

/

lyrics

The home phone’s been disconnected
We don’t live there anymore
The moving truck went as expected
We don’t live there anymore

New folks will move in and paint over us
Over every uncompleted war
Cause we don’t live there anymore

The children grown, the parents parted
We don’t live there anymore
The scraps of twenty years discarded
We don’t live there anymore

Photographs in boxes lay defeated
Familiar wounds festering untreated
Debris from my analog childhood not so easily deleted

That jungle gym used to be ours
But we don’t live there anymore
The shouting matches used to burn for hours
But we don’t live there anymore

Now history is filtered through a broken lens
The locks have changed on every memory’s door
What actually happened to us all within those walls?
Well I guess we’ll never know for sure
Cause we don’t live there anymore

What a relief, what a shame
What a relief, what a shame
Yesterday will never be the same
Yesterday will never be the same
Yesterday will never be the same

We’ll never slam that kitchen door again
Cause we don’t live there anymore
The things we never said are in the den
But we don’t live there anymore

And they will gather dust far away from us
Eroding in yellow tile floor
Cause we don’t live there anymore
We don’t live there anymore
