lyrics

VERSE 1:
I know I've got a problem
Although I'm inclined to lie
I can't build a foundation
There's a dozen reasons why
My ground's too sloped for building
And my lot's too thin to try to try

CHORUS 1:
I knock on wood when my fears spill out the edges
I bite my lips when I trip over my tongue
And I'll build my house on stilts
As the world around me shifts and tilts
And leaves me far behind

VERSE 2:
I'll open up my doors for you if you ask to come in
I'll show you all my thoughts tacked up carefully with pins
And I'll tell you what I have to say when I figure out where to begin

CHORUS 2:
My mind is not architecturally sound
And I am so afraid that it will all come crashing down
So I'll build my house on stilts
See if it can hold my fears and guilts
Paint it blue just to catch your eye

BRIDGE:
I'm sorry that it's hard to get my head out of the clouds
I'm just scared of what would happen if my feet were firmly on the ground

CHORUS 3:
My mind is not architecturally sound
And I am so afraid that it will all come crashing down
And I'll build my house on stilts
As the world around me shifts and tilts
I feel so left behind

But I'll paint it blue just to catch your eye
