House In The City

let's build a house in the city
and let's turn that house into a home
we'll make big plans every evening so we'll never have to be alone
let's build a wall all around us so we'll never have to face our fears
and you can bring your thrift-store paintings and i'll put up the one-way mirrors
we'll climb the stairs in the evening and turn out the light
and listen to our hearts beating in the dark at night
let's build a house in the city
and let's make every window face a star
so when we need reminded what we're made of we'll never have to look too far
we'll dig a hole in the garden for the extra keys
and we'll take turns together gettin' down on our knees
when the time comes we'll be ready
and the time, it will come
