House in Virginia
We'd love to see you, Emma
Red velvet chairs for you to sit on, Emma
Blue cobalt teacups every shape, every size
Your favorite designs
White flawed enamel pots
And a place on the shelf for everything you've got

When are you coming to stay?
Say that you'll never go away

Porch swings and everything
Your favorite pets, they're everywhere
Willow trees and a cool breeze
Lemonade, freshly squeezed
Sun-thickened linseed oil
Is studio equipped for brooding
Alcohol and turpentine somehow you find it soothing

(chorus)

She stands at the full length
Admiring herself in her grandmother's hat
She says, when she gets her strength
She's flying away and she's never coming back
I am done. I am done. I am done. I'm undone

I once again, learn to fall in love with this song once again. I got this album maybe 5 years ago when it was out of high school and listen to it on my way to community college. And I never imagine I would be living in a house in virginia. I found this song to describe the perfect place that everyone wants to run away from. It talks about a place that sounds perfect but it's not. No matter how great a place seems, it will never be perfect.
