Just A House
From House to Home: A Journey of Memories with Kendall Renee
Lyrics
Seems like it was just the other day
Reflecting on the recent past, suggesting a short passage of time.
The time before you filled this empty space
Describing the time before the speaker's arrival, highlighting an empty space.
Then rolled in the boxes of the memories yet made
Boxes symbolize past experiences and memories that are yet to be created.
those were the days
Nostalgic reference to a positive and cherished period.
Your first steps to running through these halls
Recalling the occupant's early moments of movement within the house.
I was there for every slip and fall
The speaker was present for the occupant's mistakes and stumbles.
Every little milestone in marker on these walls
Noting significant events marked on the walls, portraying milestones.
I saw it all
Expressing the speaker's witness to the occupant's life unfolding.
Where did the time go?
Rhetorical question pondering the swift passage of time.
Look at how we've grown
Observing personal and emotional growth over time.
I was just a house
The house initially served a basic function, providing shelter.
But you made me a home
The occupant has transformed the house into a meaningful and comforting home.
Oooh
An expressive interjection, possibly emphasizing a sentimental tone.
I was there when you felt ignored
The house witnessed moments of feeling neglected.
I felt every slam of these old doors
Describing the impact of doors closing forcefully, symbolizing emotional barriers.
I heard the first "I love you," saw you break down on the floor
The speaker was present for significant emotional moments, including vulnerability.
That's what I'm here for
Reiterating the house's role in supporting and being present for the occupant.
Where did the time go?
Repeating the question about the fleeting nature of time.
Look at how we've grown
Emphasizing personal and shared development since the earlier referenced time.
I was just a house
Reaffirming the house's initial utilitarian purpose.
But you made me a home
Highlighting the occupant's transformative impact, turning the house into a home.
Oooh
Repeating the expressive interjection for emphasis or emotional resonance.
Take one last look around before you go
Suggesting a farewell and encouraging a final appreciation of shared memories.
I was your foundation, now build your own
The house served as a foundation for the occupant, urging them to build their future.
Where did the time go?
Reiterating the temporal theme, questioning the elapsed time and growth.
Look at how we've grown
Reflecting on personal and shared growth as time has passed.
I was just a house
Recalling the original purpose of the house as a mere structure.
But you made me a home
Affirming the occupant's role in transforming the house into a warm and welcoming home.
Oooh
Repeating the expressive interjection, possibly as a poignant conclusion.
