They built the new estate on the fields at the edge of the forest
Four hundred brand new and affordable homes, up near the radio tower
Show homes showed us what our lives could be
Then two by two by two by two the people found their plots
We were the first ones to move in
The number on the door is how you tell it's yours
Every neighbours home, you know your way around
The pictures might be different, but the walls are all the same
Seventeen and needing room to breathe
The last one to appreciate it, I'm the first one in this house to leave
This house is smaller now
This house is smaller now
So you start brand new lives.
Everything together, both of you, all the time
Until the shadows on the scan appeared
And the days you took as given, quickly turn into a gift
Then the doctor sat us both down to explain
There's nothing they can do now
He's not coming to this house again
This house is shrinking now
This house is shrinking now
This house is shrinking now
So now it's only you
Do you really need so much space now you're living life alone?
Even though the kids still call
You can't quite place the voices, you can't quite find their names
One day everything you ever owned was emptied on the floor
They reckon it's not safe for you to be in this house anymore
This house is vacant now
This house is vacant now
And now we're there unpacking things.
Boxes inside boxes inside boxes full of everything you ever did
Diaries of feelings that you'd never ever shown
Photographs of all the other houses you'd called home
Every single thing
Is every single thing
Every single thing
Is every single thing
And it's your things
And it's his things
And it's my things
And it's our things
And if we pack carefully we can do it in one load
With the man and his van, who's taking it all away today
Leaving the empty shell that's left of where we'd been
Ready for the next ones to move in
This house is empty now
This house is empty now
This house is empty now
This house is empty now
This house is ready to move on
This house is ready now we're gone
This house is ready to move on
This house is ready now we're gone
This house is ready to move on
This house is ready now we're gone
This house is ready to move on
This house is ready now we're gone
