lumberyard Songtext
von soupandreas

Carry me down to the lumberyard
Build me up into something that you′re proud of
I couldn't tell you how we got this far
But I′m giving in 'cause I'm afraid I′ll amount to something

′Cause that's what you wanted for me
Yeah, I′ma be a star, I'll drive a new car
You′ll have a new house, in a new part of a new town
If I knew how to get it it wouldn't feel so far

You′ve been directing like the north star
Making money in a castle made of plywood
I wish you noticed that I'm trying hard
And I wish you knew that I can't get out of bed some days


Long ride, daydream, eyes closed, phosphene in my eyelids
Four alarms, three drinks, two jobs, one dirty pillow to scream in
Make plans, demands, throw bands, watch it all fall into pieces
I can′t put them together so why do I even try?

Carry me down to the lumberyard
Build me up into something that you′re proud of
I couldn't tell you how we got this far
But I′m giving in 'cause I′m afraid I'll amount to something

Slow down, slow down
Constantly on the comedown, comedown, comedown
Should I take a flight, or can I spend the night?
Would it be alright, would it be alright?

Sometimes I miss the middle school yard
Back in the days when I was trying to fit in
And all my friends were into guns and cars
What do they think of me now that I′m a misfit


Carry me down to the lumberyard
Build me up into something that you're proud of
I couldn't tell you how we got this far
But I′m giving in ′cause I'm afraid I′ll amount to something
