House
Joshua Moss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a lot less like home
The little things have disappeared
And the places you? or everywhere
The rooms are cold
The halls are quiet
It's a lot less like home
I sit upon the roof alone and think of you right here
Watching films on the couch
Is a bit weird with you gone
Driving sucks, I never laugh like I did when you were here
It gets so difficult late at night when I can't see your face
Torn not to think about everything that I wish would change
Oh oh oh (5×)
And I don't wanna change a thing about you
I'm just here to grow beside you
I want you to know that
We had to say goodbye this morning
But I'll be right back into your arms
In a bit my love, yeah yeah
I kept a polaroid of me kissing your cheek
And it was on the dashboard all the way
Back To the house that's hard without you here
Back on the phone once again
All the time went so fast
Nothing's the same, but that's not a burden
Because you're worth all this so much more
The song "House" by Joshua Moss is a poignant reflection on the difficulty of being in a house without someone who used to live there. The lyrics convey a sense of emptiness and loneliness that the singer feels after their loved one has departed. They sing about how everything feels different now that their partner is gone – the rooms are cold, the halls are quiet, and even the little things that were once taken for granted are now missed. The singer is left to contemplate their situation, sitting alone on the roof, watching films on the couch without their partner, and feeling a sense of loss as they struggle to move on from the past.
Despite the heartache and pain, the singer is also hopeful about the future. They express their desire to grow alongside their partner and to return to their embrace as soon as possible. The final lines of the song "We had to say goodbye this morning, but I'll be right back into your arms, in a bit my love, yeah yeah" are both melancholic and optimistic. The singer acknowledges the pain of their separation, but they also hold onto the hope of a reunion with their loved one. Overall, "House" is a moving and relatable song that captures the complex emotions that come with being apart from someone you care about deeply.

Watching films on the couch
Sitting on the couch and watching movies together used to be one of our favorite things to do

I'm back on the phone, talking to you again, even though we're apart
All the time went so fast
The time we spent together seemed to fly by too quickly
Nothing's the same, but that's not a burden
Everything is different without you, but I don't see it as a burden
Because you're worth all this so much more
I'm willing to go through all this because you're worth it and so much more to me
