halcyon Video (MV)

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 sixties was
The best seat in the house
Every night by nine o'clock
We'd end up singing Beatles songs
Three 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
