The Affordable Housing Act of 1853 Lyrics by Botanical Animal

2024

[Verse 1]
Pay my heart the rent
Cause I’ve been holding this space and your name is still on the lease
Said your love was spent
In a broken down place all alone with your empty sheets
[Pre-Chorus]
“Did you ever know me?
It’s like I’m talking to a glass”
Well you never told me
About this box of photographs
But I look through them now and again when it’s lonely
[Chorus]
Oooooooh
I never knew about the time you spent abroad
Or the time that you found god
[Verse 2]
“Leave the past behind”
You say you’re talking ‘bout things, but I know that you really mean mе
Now I spend my time
In a broken down placе meeting you in your memories
[Pre-Chorus]
“Did you ever know me?
It’s like talking to a glass”
Well you never told me
About these journals that you had
And I read through them now and again when it’s lonely
[Chorus]
Oooooooh
I never knew about the time you spent abroad
Or the time that you found god in the notes of a book in your basement
Oooooooooh
What should I do with all your things now that you’re gone?
Or the songs that I’ve begun about you and your face and the sunset?
Don’t believe that they all should be wasted
Are they wasted?
Did I waste your time?
Did I pay no mind?
To the stranger in my life?
[Bridge]
And do you still go out sometimes?
To float across the Sound?
To get away from all the noise on the currents of this town?
I’d meet you there sometime
And shut my stupid mouth
To listen to you
To listen to you
Ooooooooooh
I never knew it was your dream to play guitar
Or how you got that scar on your wrist that you hide with your bracelet
[Chorus]
Oooooooh
I never knew about the time you spent abroad
Or the time that you found god in the notes of a book in your basement
Oooooooooh
What should I do with all your things now that you’re gone?
Or the songs that I’ve begun about you and your face and the sunset?
Oooooooh
I never knew (I never knew, I never knew)
Oooooooh
What should I do?
Oooooooh
I never knew
Oooooooh
What should I do with all your things now that you're gone?
