Haunted House
Haunted House of Memories: A Ghostly Tale of Moving On
Lyrics
I used to love that your house was close
I used to appreciate the proximity of your house.
But now I try to see it twice a week at most
Now, I limit my visits to twice a week at most.
Down the road from where we used to meet
Referring to a location near our usual meeting spot.
Now it only makes me wanna cross the street
Now, the thought of your house makes me want to avoid it.
You're only living there half the time
You only occupy your house half of the time.
Remembering you calling as I’m standing outside
Recalling your calls while I stand outside.
The other routes take me twice as far
Other routes take me longer, but it's worth it to avoid seeing your car.
But I’d say it’s worth it not to see your car
Avoiding the sight of your car is preferable.
Parked out front
Your car is parked in front of your house.
Parked out front
Reiteration of the car being parked in front of your house.
Paranormal superstition
Reference to supernatural beliefs, cautioning against involvement.
Don’t get caught up I’ll go missin'
A warning not to get entangled, or there might be consequences.
Baby your haunted house
Addressing the person's house as haunted metaphorically.
Don’t let the dead crawl out
Advising not to let unresolved issues resurface.
Baby your haunted house
Reiteration of caution regarding the haunted nature of the house.
I’m trying not to hang around anymore
Expressing a desire to distance oneself from the haunted environment.
And I still jump when I see your dad
Still affected emotionally when encountering your father.
Kissin by the door now it’s making me sad
Recalling past moments of affection, now causing sadness.
Hope we still see each other now that we’re dead
Hoping for continued connection even after parting.
We'll still find somewhere to rest our heads
Confidence in finding solace in a different place.
Somewhere else
Reiteration of finding comfort elsewhere.
Somewhere else
Emphasizing the search for a new emotional space.
Paranormal superstition
Recurrence of caution regarding supernatural elements.
Don’t get caught up I’ll go missin'
Reiterating the warning to avoid potential consequences.
Baby your haunted house
Revisiting the metaphor of the haunted house in the context of the relationship.
Don’t let the dead crawl out
Warning against allowing unresolved issues to resurface.
Baby your haunted house
Repetition of caution about the haunted nature of the relationship.
I’m trying not to hang around anymore
Continued effort to distance oneself from the haunting emotions.
Anymore
Emphasizing the commitment to avoiding the haunted environment.
And I still get caught up
Reflecting on getting emotionally entangled when hearing a familiar song.
When I hear your haunted song...
Reiteration of the haunted nature of the relationship through a song.
Baby your haunted house
Repeating the caution about the haunted house in the context of the song.
Don’t let the dead crawl out
Advising against letting unresolved issues manifest.
Baby your haunted house
Repeating the warning not to let the past resurface.
I’m trying not to hang around anymore
Continued effort to distance oneself from the haunting emotions.
Baby your haunted house
Repetition of the caution regarding the haunted nature of the relationship.
Don’t let the dead crawl out
Advising against allowing unresolved issues to resurface.
Baby your haunted house
Reiterating the warning to avoid potential consequences.
I’m trying not to hang around anymore
Emphasizing the commitment to avoiding the haunted environment.
Anymore
Final emphasis on the commitment to stay away from the haunting emotions.
