This Is Where

We bought a small house on a busy road
The traffic’s loud but it feels like home
It’s a big step up from falling asleep
To the neighbors yelling and the smell of weed
And when we walk down these halls I swear I can see it all
This is where the heat will break in the middle of winter
Where you’ll turn 28 and get drunk with your sister

This is where the little things become the big picture
This is where, this is where
Where we’ll watch football and be cheering like crazy
Where you’ll make coffee and you’ll try not to wake me
This is where one day we’re gonna drive by saying
This is where, this is where

We’ve got a blank slate and a set of keys
Couple cans of paint and endless dreams
When I look at you I can’t wait to start
I know this place isn’t perfect but it’s ours
This is where our friends’ll come drink all of our liquor
Where we’ll eat take out ‘cause I messed up our dinner (overcooked dinner)

This is where the little things become the big picture
This is where, this is where
Where we’ll watch airplanes while the sunlight’s fading
Where we’ll play board games on the nights when it’s raining
This is where one day we’re gonna drive by saying
This is where, this is where

I can feel time fly by
Here in this wood and tile
When we walk down these halls I swear I can see it all
This is where I’ll sing to you while you dance in your slippers
Where money gets tight but our love’ll grow richer

This is where the little things become the big picture
This is where, this is where
Where you’ll plant flowers just to pick your own daisies
Where we’ll hang the mobile when we bring home a baby
This is where one day we’re gonna drive by saying
This is where, this is where
