Built Like Us

Houses are built with promises

Foundations of love and trust

They'll shiver with the wind, but keep the people warm within

Houses are built like us

And bedrooms are filled with honesty

In the ceilings and the walls you can see

Every crack and every scar, every patch-up job and mark

Bedrooms are built like you and me

I never understood what home was

Until I finally found it waking up to see you eating eggs on toast

Home is love, love's how you build it

Snuggled underneath a blanket safe and close

A life we build in any house we're living in

It's home, that's us

That's it

'Cause this feeling will stay no matter where we're guided

A studio in L.A. to a small Paris apartment

'Cause I never felt safe till you held me tight

And I never slept well till you kissed me good-night

I never understood what home was

But I think I finally found it waking up to see you eating eggs on toast

Home is love, love's how you build it

Snuggled underneath a blanket safe and close

A life we build in any house we're living in

It's home, that's us

That's it

'Cause houses are built with promises

And houses are filled with love

And houses are built like us
