To Build A House

While you were gone I washed all the windows
So I could get a better view of your return
While you were gone I changed all the bed sheets
So I could lie without the anger as I turn
I reset the clocks so I could forgive you for being late
But the moment they stop is the moment you tell me to have some faith
To build a house on quicksand
That’s what you’re asking me to do
To give you the heart you’ve broken
How can that feel alright to you?
In the end, I let the windows get dirty
I couldn’t stand to see your absence through the glass
And in the end, I learned to sleep with the light off
So tired from giving space to shadows of the past
I used to reset the clocks so I could forgive you for being late
Then the moment I stop is the moment you tell me to have some faith
To build a house on quick sand
That’s what you’re asking me to do
To give you the heart you’ve broken
How can that feel alright to you?
Do I wait for you?
Does that comfort me?
Do I see you through?
Or do I walk on by?
Can I flick the switch?
And forget your name?
Do I crawl right back
When I know that there’s no safety in your arms?
To build a house on quick sand
That’s what your asking me to do
To give you the heart you’ve broken
How can that feel alright to you?
How can that feel alright
How can that feel alright
How can that feel alright to you?
