Our House
Crosby Stills Nash & Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You place the flowers
In the vase
That you bought today
Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long
For me
Only for me
Come to me now (come to me now)
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done
Such a cozy room (such a cozy room)
The windows are illuminated by the evening
Sunshine through them
Fiery gems
For you
Only for you
Our house
Is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our
La-la, la-la-la, la
La, la-la, la, la, la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la-la, la-la, la

Our house

Crosby Stills & Nash's song Our House is a sentimental, romantic ballad about a couple settling down and creating a comfortable home together. The song is a conversation between two people - one partner suggests that they light a fire, while the other suggests they place flowers in the vase that they bought that day. The couple spends hours sitting by the fire, listening to love songs played by one of them. The lyrics suggest that everything is easy and cozy, and the couple enjoys their home, which is illuminated by the evening sunshine. In the second verse, the couple invites the other partner to come and rest their head for just five minutes, suggesting that they take a break from the world and just enjoy each other's company.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that their home is a very fine house and that everything is easy and pleasant because of their love for each other. The two cats in the yard are a symbol of the cozy domesticity that the couple shares. The lyrics suggest that even though life used to be hard, now everything is easy because they have each other. The song is a celebration of a couple's love and commitment to each other, showing the value of a comfortable home and a loving partnership.
