I walked slowly at first
Tried now to break into a run
I knew that was your house
At the end of the road
With one tree at the side
How I wished that I could have it
But hey this is crazy
When after all it's only your house
I came back 'til next time
Drove by some strange magnetic pole
Was just brick and molding
But you might be inside
What if you should see me here
That won't do, I'll dissapear
I know this is crazy
'Cause after all it's only your house
I got the number from a friend
Of a friend of a friend
He told me which street it was
And said that he lived near here
I only saw you that one time
That permanent breath on you sometimes
Now here I am making a fool of myself
Why am I so rude at first
It's only your house
I won't be back again
Don't want you thinking I'm some creepy guy
If I were to meet you what could I really say
You'd think I was insane
I don't even know your name
But hey this is crazy
When after all it's only your house
Look I know this is crazy
