Hi there sweetheart!
I see some old tenants left their marks,
But don’t worry we’ll clean up the mess,
Without changing the rest.
Fix those broken windows,
Wipe the ketchup off the walls,
Turn the table back upright,
Get a new carpet for the hall.
A bit of work’s needed on the first-floor,
But we’ll have fun together, I’m sure,
Mopping and dusting to a country song.
Just step-back and admire how it’s standing strong.
We’ll make a mosaic out of broken mugs,
Move the bird’s nest to the window sill,
But maybe kick the roaches out,
And get a cat which doesn’t sit still
And you can open the hidden door,
To the untouched second floor,
That you say I’m the first to see,
And I’m as honoured as can be.
Please read to me from a dusty book,
As I explore every cranny and nook.
I’d like to get to know every brick,
Each one’s important for the aesthetic.
I won’t mess it up in a bad way,
But make it more lived in.
The sheets will definitely be untidy,
But warmer than they’ve ever been.
The state of disarray isn’t your fault,
Don’t worry, my house is messier,
We’ll clean up both places,
And make them even sturdier.
We’ll combine these houses,
Make them better than they’ve ever been.
Bring our joy, our warmth, make it comfortable,
A home for two to live in.
