The House At No. 3

lyrics

Composed by Mikey Madden © Mushroom Music Publishing

It’s been a long time gone, been a dirty old road
Since there was meat on my bones, and places to go
I left you when the milk went sour
Came back when the grass was greener

But don’t take me down that same street anymore
I don’t recognise the houses or the trees
I’ve been fifteen again since I walked through the door
Of the house at No. 3

Fell out with the neighbours, fell in love with the night time
When the truth took a backseat to the stories and the rhyme
Talked to yer girlfriends to see if they miss ya
And asked for your mother to give you a call

But don’t take me down that same street anymore
I don’t recognise the houses or the trees
I’ve been fifteen again since I walked through the door
Of the house at No. 3

And now when I see her I can’t help but miss her
The lights from the hallway that call ya back in

But don’t take me down that same street anymore
I don’t recognise the houses or the trees
I’ve been fifteen again since I walked through the door
Of the house at No. 3
The house at No. 3
