Unfinished House

(album: KARPEH - 2023)

You couldn't finish a thing that you put your mind to
But you still married your friend
You just couldn't see through the haze

It was like she was kin to you, these words you felt tied to
She had the brawn and the brains
You just kept dropping your crown

But like an unfinished house
She'll see you around
And the neighbors won't say a thing

No
You were teeming with energy, gotta find somewhere to ride to
You took a chance on this bread
Maybe you could make it a sound

She was sturdy as ever, but she'd sooner make the time to
See where it was all gonna end
Thinking the structure was sound

But like an unfinished house
She'll see you around
And the neighbors won't say a thing

If I was born when you were born
You and I wouldn't get along
You and I wouldn't see what's wrong
If you were born when I was born
You'd see the sun every twenty-four
The Seattle rain, my cherie amour

Like an unfinished house
She'll see you around
And the neighbors won't say a thing

We couldn't see what's wrong
If daring was caring, you'd know when you were wrong
Know when you were wrong
