A Face to Call Home Songtext
von John Mayer

I am an architect
Of days that haven′t happened yet
I can't believe a month is all it′s been
You know my paper heart
The one I filled with pencil marks
I think I might've gone and inked you in

Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
And it ain't much, but it′s a start
You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home

So good you didn′t see
The nervous wreck I used to be
You'd never know a man could feel so small
And you never look at me
Like I′m a liability
I bet you think I've never been at all


Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
And it ain′t much, but it's a start
You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home

A face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home

Maybe I could stay a while
Maybe I could stay a while
Maybe I could stay a while
I′m talking like all of the time

(Maybe I could stay a while) little by little, inch by inch
(Maybe I could stay a while) we built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
(Maybe I could stay a while) it ain't much, but it's a start
(I′m talking like all of the time) you got me swaying right along to the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
