I Would Build You a Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Everything I own can fit in one room Not much of a dowry, not much that I can do But I don't need a bit of it to get through one day Though sometimes it's nice to have at least a couple nice things [Chorus] But I digress, you won't be impressed Though you can keep what you'd like for your own You deserve a better standard by which you can live And if I could, I'd build you a home [Verse 2] We got everything we need so you could relax I built shelves for our LPs, and they'll eventually collapse This AC is a joke, it won't make anything cold While a bunch of my pet projects sit dusty and unsold [Chorus] But I digress, it's what I do best Thesе things we have will not make us wholе If I numbered what I love, you'd be first on that list And if I could, I'd build you a home [Bridge] Some will just get up, and then go off to work But that's not easy when you're still in my bed And some will just give up before their just deserts But oh, my love, I'd rather be... [Verse 3] All the people in this world, they all scare me to death I can't understand half their words, or the whole of what they meant While it's so hard to sleep when it's no fun being awake There's so many things you need that I am willing to make [Chorus] But I digress, this is ridiculous I get confused and I spend too much time alone I want to be much better to make good on this wish And if I could Oh, if I could Oh, if I could If I could, I'd build you... If I could... If I could...
