Rebuilding

(album: Dream Girl - 2022)

Do you take all your lovers here?
Do they kiss you as they leave your door?
Would they gladly sleep on the floor
If it meant they would wake up next to you?

Would they write you a million songs
And send you every single one?
Would they make you come undone
And sew you back up again?

Fine, you win
I'll tear my walls down
And welcome you in
With open arms
I'll rebuild myself
With a spare room
And a king sized bed
Where we can sleep til noon

I don't know
Where this is going
But I know that you're good for me
I'm rebuilding
I don't want to go
Time is of the essence and
I long for you in Tennessee
I'm rebuilding

Do you take all your lovers here?
Do you kiss them like you kiss me?
Gasping like you can barely breathe?
God I love making fun of you

Do they write you shitty poetry?
Are they afraid to tell you the truth?
Do they long to take care of you
The way you take care of me?

Fine, I give up
I'll break your walls down
And fill your cup
Without pouring mine out
I'll help you rebuild
With a spare room
And a king sized bed
Where we can sleep til noon

I don't know
Where this is going
But I know that you're good for me
I'm rebuilding
I don't want to go
Time is of the essence and
I long for you in Tennessee
I'm rebuilding
