a twig, a stick, a cigarette butt
a bobby pin, a string, with my spit-up
i’m an engineer by instinct
i’m an engineer by instinct
build the bedroom basin and four walls
the ceiling needs replacing come fall
i was born an architect
i was born an architect
and i get up early
‘cause i’ve been building a home
just thought you should know
it’ll be here waiting
there’s always room for more
you know i built it for
all the songs we’ve been singing
i might fly away
but i’ll be back the first day
of the next season
i’ve been building a home
just thought you should know
it’ll be here waiting
so fly back home
to the landscape that built your hollow bones
and our ancestors so old
warned us of a meteor coming, or so its told
and ours, it might be here
so fly back birdie, you and i will be safe here
just fly back home,
(i’m an engineer by instinct)
fly back home
(i was born an architect)
i’ve been building a home
just thought you should know
it’ll be here waiting
