[Verse 1]
My house
Is so far from your one, hon
Nothin' to spend my paper currency on
The big man said
"City life, kid you’re in the city for good"
Ain't allowed to step foot out of my neighbourhood, oh but

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mind
I don't mind

[Chorus]
'Cause when I see you lookin' back over the line like that
I wanna be someone you've never seen before
You're gonna make me run for miles
Oh, from my house
Yeah, when I see you lookin' at me on the line like that
I wanna be somewhere I'm not allowed to go
But I'm gonna run for miles
Over from my house

[Verse 2]
Such a lovely building
Microwave oven and a hot tub to chill in
You could call me up if you got somethin' to say
Well, how can I have somethin' to say?
I can only get out of here once today, ay-ay-ay-ay
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mind
I don't mind

[Chorus]
'Cause when I see you lookin' back over the line like that
I wanna be someone you've never seen before
You're gonna make me run for miles
Oh, from my house
Yeah, when I see you lookin' at me on the line like that
I wanna be somewhere I'm not allowed to go
But I'm gonna run for miles
Over from my house

[Bridge]
That would be [?] 'cause she's precious, she's beautiful
And, every time I see her, um
Uh, there's the five-year-old me that shouts "fuck!"
And doesn't want to talk to anyone
All s-soppy [?] and love struck

You could run a mile
Or you could stay for good (you could)
You could run a mile
Or you could stay for good
(My house)
(My house, my house, sh)
(My house, house, my house)
(Or we could- we could whis- we could whisper it)
(My house, my house, my house)
(My house)

[Outro]
It was a pleasure chatting with you this morning
Have a nice day!
