Lyrics

I love my house in the daytime.

I have affection for my home during the daytime.

When natural light shines in.

I appreciate the natural light that enters my house.

And in the evening

The positive feeling continues into the evening.

it's the same thing.

The positive atmosphere is maintained at night.


With the small lights on

I have small lights and candles creating a cozy environment.

and some candles burning

My best friend in this setting is my old guitar.

With my best friend

Even with the company of my best friend, I'm alone.

It's this old guitar.

The best friend mentioned is the old guitar.


Every now jand then I hear somebody

Occasionally, I hear someone unlocking the door.

Turning the key

There's an indication of someone entering.

And although they've been expected

Even if the arrival is expected, it's still surprising.

It still surprises me

Surprise is expressed despite anticipating the arrival.


I never took anything for granted

I don't take things for granted, except for decline.

Except decline

There's an acknowledgment of the inevitability of decline.

Every good day

Each good day is appreciated as a surprise.

comes as a surprise


It feels as if a guarding angel

A sense of divine protection is felt.

Is working its ass off for me

The guardian angel is metaphorically working hard for the singer.

All I have to do is

The singer just needs to learn to receive these blessings.

Learn to receive


So I ride my bike up to a place

-

Where what I bring

What the singer brings is acknowledged and appreciated.

Is appreciated

Every instance of appreciation is a surprise for the singer.

And every time that's a big surprise


And then I ride the bike back home

The house stands as a constant in the singer's life.

And the house still stands there

Despite positive experiences, the singer is still alone.

And I'm all alone

The singer enters the house and plays a song.

And I go back in

And I play this song

The act of playing the song signifies a personal expression or solace.
