Cardboard House Lyrics

Paper fire in a cardboard house
You be the mom and I'll be the dad
Just a paper fire in a cardboard house
We're gonna be happy
Living in a fantasy
It's just you and me in a cardboard house

I'll bake cookies on a plastic stove
Dunk 'em in milk in dixie cups
When we bake cookies on a plastic stove
We're gonna be happy
Living on a fantasy
It's just some cookies when we're in a cardboard house

Well we both can't sleep in the cardboard house
Nah, it's much to small to both lay down
So lay down I'll stand in a cardboard house
So you can be happy
Living on a fantasy
Go to sleep and dream of a cardboard house

But I hope it don't rain on our cardboard house
The roof will bend and the walls will bow
So go inside bring that cardboard house
We can be happy
Living on a fantasy
It's just you and me in a cardboard house
It's just you and me in a cardboard house

Any time you need me I'll be in that cardboard house

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
