about

When the kids leave home, the house is empty, the cracks open, but maybe the foundations are strong enough to allow the house to survive.

lyrics

Now the house is empty
The ids have left home
We sit at night, with the TV on
I don't know when, we were no longer young
And i don't know when, words dried up on my tongue

chous
And i don't know if, I've stopped loving you
And I don't know if you stopped loving me too
Stopped loving me too

Was it the drone of life, that made us forget
The hot blast of love when we first met
Was it the weight of words, screamed in rage
That made us so numb, made us disengage
chorus

But I remember the night, you descended the stairs
Saying sometime happiness catches me unawares
I'd come in from the cold, shaking a head full of rain
I smiled with relief, said I feel the same

chorus
