Lyrics

EVERYTHING I WANTED

VERSE ONE
Old light fixtures and checkerboard floors
Subway tiles and rugs that cover hundred year old boards
And instruments piled up along the floorboards
I thought of you when I sanded our old bookcase
I remember how you like your whiskey.... Straight

CHORUS
Everything I wanted, means nothing at all
If I can’t hear your boots coming home, walk down the hall
Everything I wanted, means nothing at all
If I can’t hear you singing through our shower walls

VERSE TWO
Creaking doors with antique knobs
Painted mirrors hung on the wall like a collage
Reflecting back that I look older every day It’s quieter now that you’re not here
But if I listen close I can hear you say
You still look beautiful to me

CHORUS
Everything I wanted, means nothing at all
If I can’t hear your boots coming home, walk down our hall
Everything I wanted, means nothing at all
If I can’t hear you singing through our shower walls

BRIDGE
Everything we worked for, I’d trade it all
And now I’m thinking ‘bout selling your old guitars
Cause suddenly they feel like they don’t belong
There as lonesome as I am without our old love songs

CHORUS
Everything I wanted, means nothing at all
If I can’t hear your boots coming home, walk down the hall
Everything I wanted, means nothing at all
If I can’t hear you singing through our shower walls

If I can’t hear your boots, coming home
