These walls are thin the paper creaks
And in my house I cannot sleep
But don't say I say, don't say I say I'm coming home
My mouth won't move and my lips won't shake
This could have been a beautiful date
But don't say I say, no, don't say I say I'll take you home
Oooohhhh
My pen is drawn and my hammer is out
But I never said I'd build this whole house
So don't say I say, don't say I say this is home
The meadows fold and the rivers roll
This is a good place to grow old
But don't say I say, no, don't say I say this is home
Cause as I write these words, my lonely bones creak
And I cannot build a better box since skin doesn't keep
Oh what did I say? Well,
I quote the silence in my sleep.
What did I say? Well,
I quote the silence in my sleep.
This foundation will fall as our faces become caverns
But isn't it funny how this world turns?
Don't say I say, no don't say I say I said it first
We're all just as lost, I know I'm not the only one
Who follows the rising and the setting of our sun
But don't say I say, no don't say I say I said it first
Cause as I write these words, my lonely bones creak
And I cannot build a better box since skin doesn't keep
Oh what did I say? Well,
I quote the silence in my sleep.
What did I say? Well,
I quote the silence in my sleep.
But don't say I say, no don't say I say
Don't say I say, no don't say I say I'm coming home.
