I Would Build You a Home

[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...
