Cardboard Castles lyrics

[Hook]
Out on the curb again
On the curb again
I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
Out on the curb again
Out on the curb again
On the curb again
I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
Out on the curb again

[Bridge]
I’m in my room making cardboard castles
With shoestring rope
Soup spoon drawbridge
Tinfoil moat
I’m still dreaming after all these years
I’m in my room making cardboard castles
With shoestring rope
Soup spoon drawbridge
Tinfoil moat
I’m still dreaming after all these years

[Verse 1]
Because if we don’t build it, who will?
I do things on a shoestring that you couldn’t do for a cool mil
I run with no laces, and when I fall, I start
To build my Taj Mahal with sh*t I found at Dollar Mart
This life’s our greatest project
The journey’s all an art
But I built my perfect nest and it’s ‘bout to fall apart
Again and again and then I just I make it twice as high
And I give my tower teeth, and I watch it bite the sky
Because I might just cry if I don’t keep it moving
I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined
‘Cause every stone will crumble down to dust, to dust, to dust
And I say love thy neighbor, and I say f*ck thy hater
There’s nothing I can’t solve with duct tape and construction paper
I don’t want a Band-Aid, I’ll only rip it off, I’ll rip it off
