Brick by brick We build a house And then we broke it down Word for word we ment to hurt And then we killed the sound Well it starts with a joke And then it goes up in smoke And leaves us wandering how And no one knows that's all she wrote Well at least for now We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Nothing is ever good enough for ya We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Flames are the layers Nothing here is ever good enough Nothing here is ever good enough for love And brick by brick we build a house In this crazy town And word for word you make love or get hurt I won't back down And it starts with a kiss Did it end up like this Shit I'm running round It goes to show you never will know What life's about what life's about We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Nothing is ever good enough for ya We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Flames are the layers Nothing here Stone by stone we make a home Just to?? maybe for a while Close together and still alone It's quite the life or quite a lie Oh we're building a wall right before our eyes Close together and still alone We're building a fire To warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Cause nothing here is ever good enough for ya We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Flames are the layers Nothing here is ever good enough for ya Building a fire here We warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Nothing here is ever good enough Nothing here is ever good enough for love Nothing here is ever good enough good enough for love

Won't you look up at the skyline At the mortar, block, and glass And check out the reflections in my eyes? You see, they always used to be there Even when this all was grass And I sang and danced about a high-rise And you were laughing at my helmet hat Laughing at my torch Go ahead, you can laugh all you want I got my philosophy (Keeps my feet on the ground) And I trust it like the ground That's why my philosophy (My phil-) Keeps me walking when I'm falling down (-osophy) I see that there is evil And I know that there is good And the in-betweens, I never understood Won't you look at me? I'm crazy But I get the job done Yeah, I'm crazy, but I get the job done I say go ahead, you can laugh all you want But I got my philosophy (Keeps my feet on the ground) And I trust it like the ground That's why my philosophy (My phil-) It keeps me walking when I'm falling down (-osophy) I pushed you 'cause I loved you guys I didn't realize you weren't having fun And I dragged you up the stairs, I told you to fly You were flapping your arms, you started to cry You were too high, no, too high Now you take this all for granted You take the mortar, block, and glass And you forget the speech that moved the stone But it's really not that you can't see the forest for the trees You've never been out in the woods alone So you can laugh all you want to I've got my philosophy (It keeps my feet on the ground) And I love you, you're my friend But you got no philosophy (My phil-) Now it's time for this song to end (-osophy)

Destiny was calling Monday afternoon Wednesday, you'd be crawling and you'd pray to be there soon With sports and wine, yeah, yeah, yeah Sports and wine, no, no Some men never grew up fortunate like you Some men never found out what it takes to be a dude Now, sports and wine, yeah, yeah, yeah Sports and wine, no, no, no The girls don't understand it, what you think is art My, oh my, we're all impressed how sensitive you are Everybody's talkin' about you now, you know it's true 'Cause it always has been sports and wine for you So you ask me how I think I know just what makes you tick I know what I know you know, I know you make me sick! And sports and wine Sports and wine The girls don't understand it, anything you say And I don't understand it either, guess that makes me gay Everybody's talkin' about you now, you know it's true No! (Shit!) No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

What I've kept with me and what I've thrown away And where the hell I've ended up on this glary, random day Were the things I really cared about just left along the way For being too pent up and proud? Woke up way too late, feeling hungover and old And the sun was shining bright and I walked barefoot down the road Started thinking 'bout my old man It seems that all men wanna get into a car and go anywhere Here I stand, sad and free I can't cry and I can't see what I've done No, God, what have I done? Don't you know I'm numb, man, no, I can't feel a thing at all 'Cause it's all smiles and business these days and I'm indifferent to the loss And I've faith that there's a soul somewhere that's leading me around I wonder if she knows which way is down Here I stand, sad and free I can't cry and I can't see what I've done No, God, what have I done? And I poured my heart out And I poured my heart out It evaporated, see? Blind man on a canyon's edge of a panoramic scene Or maybe I'm a kite that's flying high and random, dangling astring Or slumped over in a vacant room, head on a stranger's knee I'm sure, back home, they think I've lost my mind Here I stand, sad and free I can't cry and I can't see what I've done No, God, what have I done?

She plays Wipe Out on the drums The squirrels and the birds come Gather 'round and sing the guitar Oh why have you got nothing to say? When all words fail, she speaks Her mixtape's a masterpiece Walks through the garden so the roses can see Oh why have you got nothing to say? And you can see the daisies in her footsteps Dandelions, butterflies I wanna be Kate! Kate! Kate! Kate! Everyday, she wears the same thing I think she smokes pot She's everything I want She's everything I'm not Oh why have you got nothing to say? She never gets wet She smiles and it's a rainbow And she speaks (and she speaks) And she breathes (yeah, and she breathes) I wanna be Kate! Kate! Kate! Kate! Down by Rosemary and Cameron She hands out the Bhagavad Gita I see her 'round every couple days I wanna see her so that I can say, "Hey, Kate!" She never gets wet She smiles and it's a rainbow You can see (you can see) I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna be Kate! Kate! Kate! No, no Kate! Kate! Kate! No, no, no, no, no, no

Well, he shouted out his last word and he stumbled through the yard And she shattered her last china plate and spun off in the car When he lunged onto the hood, she stopped to tell him she'd been wrong He was thrown head-over-heels into the traffic coming on But then, all is fair, all is fair in love Did you get my other letters? Sometimes, I think I oughta call Cause you know, I often wonder if you open them at all Every couple nights or so, you know you pop into my dreams I just can't get rid of you like you got rid of me Oh, but I send my best 'cause God knows you've seen my worst Yeah well, all is fair, all is fair in love All this breathing in, never breathing out All this breathing in, never breathing out All this breathing in, never breathing out Well, I guess she made her way through the mob too late to hear him say That he'd gotten all he'd wanted A crowd to watch him bear the pain he'd been keeping in (So what?) So what? All is fair, all is fair in love Yeah well, all is fair, all is fair in love Am I right? Am I right? Not only am I right I'm lonely and I'm right Yeah!

Sometimes, I get the feeling That I won't be on this planet for very long I really like it here, I'm quite attached to it I hope I'm wrong All I really wanna say, you're the reason I wanna stay I loved you 'fore I met you and I met you just in time 'Cause there was nothing left I sat here on my suitcase in our empty new apartment 'Til the sun went down Then I walked back down the stairs with all my bags and drove away You must be freaking out All I know is I gotta be where my heart says I oughta be It often makes no sense In fact, I never understand these things I feel Don't change your plans for me I won't move to LA The leaves are falling back east That's where I'm gonna stay You have made me smile again In fact, I might be sore from it It's been a while I know we've been together many times before I'll see you on the other side Don't change your plans for me I won't move to LA The leaves are falling back east That's where I'm gonna stay All I really wanna say is you're the reason I wanna stay But destiny is calling and won't hold And when my time is up, I'm outta here All I know is I've gotta be where my heart says I oughta be It often makes no sense In fact, I never understand these things I feel I love you, goodbye I love you, goodbye
