Builder

Back at sixteen, all of your dreams seemed to be stadium lights

Now I guess you’re growing up and finding what you wanna do with your life

Well, with these walls around my heart now after all you put me through

Think of the houses you’d put up, how good a job you would do

You should be a builder

You should be a builder

With every stone you throw they rise a little higher

And brick by brick you shut me out

You’re working overtime yeah, they keep getting thicker

These kinds of walls they don’t come down

You should be a builder

First you tear down everything ‘bout me like demolition

I didn’t know so many parts of who I am would need some fixing

Then you go and sketch out all your blueprints of a renovated me

If these walls you’ve built could talk I bet that they’d tell me to leave

With every stone you throw they rise a little higher

And brick by brick you shut me out

You’re working overtime yeah, they keep getting thicker

These kinds of walls they don’t come down

You should be a builder

You should be a builder

Look at all that you’ve constructed

Are you proud of what you’ve done?

Does it you give you validation?

Do you like what I’ve become?

You should be a builder

You should be a builder

With every stone you throw they rise a little higher

And brick by brick you shut me out

You’re working overtime yeah, they keep getting thicker

These kinds of walls they don’t come down

You should be a builder

You should be a builder
