lyrics

You built a house
With your bare hands
And nobody helped you,
They just stared.

You opened your door,
To only me,
Knock three times,
Soft Loud Soft.

And the furnishing inside,
The wallpaper dripping with life,
Made me never want to leave.

So, together we built a picket fence,
And together we painted it white,
And nothing gets past that picket fence,
We built our cage,
And we clipped our wings,
And we lost our minds.

Keep my head out of our home it knows that something's not right,
Just keep it outside.
Keep my head out of our home it knows that something's not right,
Just keep it outside,
Keep it outside.

We ate in bed
With our bare hands.
The look of love
Turned to a blank stare.
You opened your arms,
Expanded your ribs,
You breathed me in
Like you had to.

And the furnishing all died,
Cracking and showing the lie,
I never wanted to leave.

So, together we built a picket fence,
And together we painted it white,
And nothing gets past that picket fence,
We built our cage,
And we clipped our wings,
And we lost our minds.

Keep my head out of our home it knows that something's not right,
Just keep it outside.
Keep my head out of our home it knows that something's not right,
Just keep it outside,
Keep it outside.

There's misery in company
And there's misery alone.
There's misery in company
And there's misery alone.
I'm not sure which I am,
I just don't think anymore.

Keep my head out of our home it knows that something's not right,
Just keep it outside.
Keep my head out of our home it knows that something's not right,
Just keep it outside.
Just keep it at bay,
Just keep it away,
Just keep it from me
Outside.
