Cover art for Big Old House (Jesse Harris cover) lyrics by Bright Eyes

This is a Jesse Harris cover that's going to be in the movie "The Hottest State". It isn't about a dead person, it's about having someone leave you. "It's cold today, headed down the highway. Please don't say you're still the same. I'll love you if you've changed." Here he's talking about leaving the person to go somewhere else, or returning to their old place to get some things, "I'll love you if you've changed" is one of the most simple and powerful lines I've ever heard. "Big old house on the hill, I sat on the windowsill. Leaning out on the breeze Do I dwell in memories, or let them be?"

this could be describing going back to his parents' or friends house after the seperation and just thinking about the person.

Brilliant song, if you've never listened to Jesse Harris, he's great, his new album comes out July 10th but this is off the album "without you" which is just amazing.
