about

“Blue House is a reflection of childhood.
It's about my parents moving out of my
childhood home and how there is a
grieving process to leaving behind not
only a house, but a lifetime of
memories. However, moving forward is
a necessary part of life, and it is time to
make new memories in new places, and
to do that it is time to leave behind the
blue house so that a different family can
create new memories there. After all, it's
more than bricks that make a home.”

lyrics

When I woke the sun was new
The fever broke, I had sweat through
And now those words resembling stones
Break like feathers on my bones
Now time to leave it took so long
The good the bad the jeweler’s song

And even ink that marked our height
Will be repainted out of sight
It all must go under the knife
Every dent from making life

So box it up, bring it out
Last of my things from the blue house
Except the stains and willow tree
But I won’t cry I could foresee
The fall of Rome was bound to be
Not to endure eternally

And even ink that marked our height
Will be repainted out of sight
It all must go under the knife
Every dent from making life

Now it’s time to leave what we know
Chase the new and let love grow
And when we arrive then it will show
It’s more than breaks that make a home
A home

And even ink that marked our height
Will be repainted out of sight
It all must go under the knife
Every dent from making life
A blank slate for what's to be
A canvas for new family
To make their own scuffs on the walls
As tiny feet pound down the halls
A little girl to make believe
And she now rules my willow tree
She’ll learn to love and all it’s ache
And how to mend after it breaks
And how to chase after what's true
In the house I learned those too
