lyrics

these walls are thin the paper creaks
and in my house i cannot sleep
but don't say i say, don't say i say i'm coming home

my mouth won't move and my lips won't shake
this could have been a beautiful date
but don't say i say, no, don't say i say i'll take you home

oooohhhh

my pen is drawn and my hammer is out
but i never said i'd build this whole house
so don't say i say, don't say i say this is home

the meadows fold and the rivers roll
this is a good place to grow old
but don't say i say, no, don't say i say this is home

cause as i write these words, my lonely bones creak
and i cannot build a better box since skin doesn't keep
oh what did i say? well,
i quote the silence in my sleep.
what did i say? well,
i quote the silence in my sleep.

this foundation will fall as our faces become caverns
but isn't it funny how this world turns?
don't say i say, no don't say i say i said it first

we're all just as lost, i know i'm not the only one
who follows the rising and the setting of our sun
but don't say i say, no don't say i say i said it first

cause as i write these words, my lonely bones creak
and i cannot build a better box since skin doesn't keep
oh what did i say? well,
i quote the silence in my sleep.
what did i say? well,
i quote the silence in my sleep.

but don't say i say, no don't say i say
don't say i say, no don't say i say i'm coming home.
