Fit for Kings

I can see the house we made
Where you taught me how to dance
We would joke that I got paid
To give you plastic romance
We built this home on sticks and stones
And sentimental things
The years have passed, the garden's grown
This place was fit for kings

I've walked these streets
The memories of people that we knew
Time is our only enemy
And the only one that's true
Friends will come and friends will go
We'll take what we can bring
It is only you I know
In this place that was fit for kings

You can take my beating heart to keep the time
You can have my broken words and try to make them rhyme
Be my compass and my map, and bring me on my way
Wherever you're going, that's where I'll stay

Come inside, hang up your hat
Take off your coat and shoes
You can rest your weary feet
And put 'em where you choose
And if your telephone is broken
I'll try to make it ring
The door's unlocked, I leave it open
This place was fit for kings

You can take my beating heart to keep the time
You can have my broken words and try to make them rhyme
Be my compass and my map, and bring me on my way
Wherever you're going, that's where I'll stay

Rough and rocky, down this road
In this god-forsaken land
Seems like oh, so long ago
When you went and took my hand
You said, "Hey I saw you looking at me
From across the room
Oh, I'll take my chance-- you wanna dance?"
I said, "Only if it's with you"

You can take my beating heart to keep the time
You can have my broken words and try to make them rhyme
Be my compass and my map, and bring me on my way
Wherever you're going, that's where I'll stay

I'll always love you, 'till the end of my days
