Nina Persson Dreaming of Houses lyrics

[Verse 1]
Foundry smoke and apple blossoms
Wear a hat to keep the thoughts from
Flying out into the ether
Trying to decide on either or

I don't wanna talk about the world
I wanna talk about the girls
I want the open spaces

[Chorus]
And maybe dreaming of houses can save me
Give me a place where it's quiet
And my head can rest
And maybe dreaming of houses can save me
Scenes in the wallpaper
Map the architecture of my mind

[Verse 2]
Fireworks and factory seconds

Smoking embers all that's left when
All I wanna do is keep what's mine
From going up the chimney

I don't want to talk about the words
I want to talk about the birds
I want to take them places

[Chorus]
And maybe dreaming of houses can save me
Give me a place where it's quiet
And my head can rest at night
Oh maybe dreaming of houses can save me
Scenes in the wallpaper
Map the architecture of my mind
Oh baby, why did you leave me?
Didn't you need me?
