Build the house with our own four hands Hopes and dreams instead of plans Buy a rug just to hide the dirt Never knew how much your work could hurt Build the walls up around ourselves Put the windows in their panes Lock the roof down to keep us warm We forgot the door, is it supposed to be that way? Never knew the toll that time would take Our name is all that stayed the same Earthquake shakes me to the core Never been this scared before We built the walls up around ourselves Put the windows in their panes Lock the roof down to keep us warm We forgot the door, but it's supposed to be that way Board up the windows I need no escape Board up the windows I need no escape Board up the windows I need no escape Board up the windows I need no escape Some think the door is better left open But I that love's best when it's closed in
