holes

i'm gonna build my heart a home
i'm gonna seal it air-tight
there will be no cracks for your old feelings to seep through late at night
no doors for you to knock on when you're having a bad day
and no windows to crawl out of when something better comes your way
so if i let you in, you have to promise me you'll stay
you can make me your scratch paper
just please don't throw me away

i happened upon a time machine
it read, "LOVE IS WHAT YOU LET IT BE"
so i picked it up and threw it to the sea

and i turned myself into a tree
and learned sometimes it takes a setting free
so thank you, love, for letting me

and sure my head's stuck in a cloud
but me, i'm never coming down
and nobody can make me

i'm gonna build my heart a home
i'm gonna seal it air-tight
there will be no cracks for your old feelings to seep through late at night
no doors for you to knock on when you're having a bad day
and no windows to crawl out of when something better comes your way
and i will never let you in again
cause god knows you can't sit still
so drink up, boy
you've got a lot of holes to fill
