House That We Built

The golden skies are so far from me-
The darkened clouds, they fill the air.
We're outside, walkin' 'round-
Pickin' flowers, playin' truth or dare.
If you love me, let me know-
If you love me, give me more.
So help me build a house for us-
Because I know we don't have much.
You build the walls, and I'll paint them white-
So light the candles, and set fire.
The rainin' skies are all that we know-
The darkened clouds are movin' slow.
We're inside, sittin' down-
Makin' plans or just talkin' 'bout.
If you love me, let me know-
If you love me, give me more.
So help me build a house for us-
Because I know we don't have much.
You build the walls, and I'll hang the lights-
So grab the candles, and set fire.
And by the morning, they'll have burned out-
All the wax will fall, it'll stain the ground.
But we won't mind it-
'Cause it'll remind us-
Of the house that we built.
So help me build a house for us-
Because we always had enough.
We'll have a yard, and we'll watch them run-
So light the candles, and we'll be fine.
And by the morning, they'll have died down-
All the smoke will fill every room we have.
But we won't mind it-
'Cause it'll remind us-
Of the house that we built.
