V1
O the water
That comes from the shore
The wind and the waves
O it comes to your door
Your eyes they look upward
Your hearts on the ground
This mess I will leave
I’ll move one house down
But o the neighbors
They fuss and they fight
The bottles they throw
They bust through the night
Tears through the windows
They remind me to frown
This I don’t want to see
I’ll move one house down
Chorus
O I’ll move one house
That'll solve my quandary
See we all want to go, but we don’t want to flee
O I’ll move one house down
Where we all want to be
One acre plot south, between you and me
V2
Week after week, and weeks turn to years
We drink all our doubts and hide all fears
The house on the corner seems so far away
But the storms at your door by the end of the day
Chorus
So don’t move one house down
It’s a snare trap my friend
Your struggles won’t ease
Your pain it won’t end
So don’t move one house down
Catch a bus or a plane
Let your eyes take a leave of what left you this way
