halcyon - Blü Eyes

Lyrics by：Katie Stump

Composed by：Katie Stump

There's a house just off of halcyon road

On a mesa overlooking the central coast

It's where my grandma and my grandpa both grew old

And it's always been my home away from home

I grew up playing in the backyard

Swinging on the swingset

No idea what the real world was

Or how crazy it gets

Playin hide and seek

With my cousins in the trees

No clue then how much it all would mean to me

I owe it all

I owe it all

To the memories in those four walls

I owe it all

I owe it all

To the ones that taught me to love big and strong

On Sunday mornings we would drive down to the beach

All of us kids piled into the backseat

Run up and down the dunes and jump over the creeks

Since then I don't think I've ever felt so free

Come home and hang out in the parlor

After the sun went down

That old beanbag from the 60s was

The best seat in the house

Every night by 9:00

We'd end up singing Beatles songs

3 part harmonies I swear still linger on

I owe it all

I owe it all

To the memories in those four walls

I owe it all

I owe it all

To the ones that taught me to love big and strong

When grandpa finally said goodbye

We sat in the living room and cried

And I knew it would never be the same

We took a walk watched the sunset

And I knew it all would be ok

I owe it all

I owe it all

To the memories in those four walls

I owe it all

I owe it all

To the ones that taught me to love big and strong
