about

It's crooked but we made it.

lyrics

There is a place
we wove our nest,
With our four hands,
Made happiness,
This house
I built
with you.

The crooked door,
The bad decor,
The place you trip on the kitchen floor,
This money pit,
This blessed piece of sh*t.

Well, there are days
I sometimes find
I'd up and leave the whole mess behind,
And I'd never return again.
Just when I think that it’s cursed,
I recall we could be off much worse,
But for this house,
This silly house
I built with you.


There is a place
That we call home,
A perfect mess
That's all our own,
This house I built with you.

I know it’s flawed
And slightly odd,
The drapes are hammered,
The carpet sawed.
With no regrets,
We went straight into debt.

Well, there are days
I often yearn
To walk out the door
And not return,
And start somewhere else anew.
But if I pause to recall
The mem'ries papering these four walls,
How could I leave
This silly house
I built with you.
