Houses Lyrics

[Call around and gone]
To marry if you can
See all the houses you built there
The sun warms my mind
The moon cools my toes
All of these memories hold meaning.

Never mind the world
When I’m laying by the pool
I know I’m feeling lazy
And I need to see the world.

Wondering in the night
If my car can still drive
All the days never been longer
The sun warms my mind
The moon cools my toes
All of these memories lose meaning

Never mind the world
When you think it’s right in front of you
I know they think I’m crazy
And believe I need a girl

Huh-huh-uh-oh-oh-oh...

Another sleepless night
The idea of a perfect life
How many more minds can one house hold
The sun warms my mind
The moon cools my toes
All the days never been longer

Never mind the world
When you laid by the pool
I thought that I was crazy
All along it was just a girl

Do do do do...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't believe nobody has commented on this song.

I think it's about a guy who is always being reprimanded for not having a girlfriend of some sort by his relatives but he'd rather just relax and think about his perfect girl instead.

Just my idea anyway. This song always makes me happy.

Wow I had trouble trying to make sense of this song, as beautiful as it is. But I agree with Tack-o-Rama now I've re-read over it.

This songs reminds me of myself. I often get in the habit of imagining a perfect life/relationship for myself instead of actually living and trying to accomplish it.

"Never mind the world When I’m laying by the pool "

Love those lyrics. Warm fuzzy feeling all over. :)

This song is gay. But it's awesome, I guess.
