A Life I Can Live By

Hey, oh, oh

Mm, hmm, hmm

You can stack it all up, brick by brick

Throw it in the fire, stick by stick

Hold it in your hand

Watch it slip through it like sand

Chandeliers leading to the back porch

Broken hearts laying on a marble floor

Satin on the bed

It don't matter if you're sleeping with regret

No, I want to build a life I can live by

Dream the kinda dream that never dies

Find a kiss that keeps me up all night

And the truth is, love is all I ever fight for

All I really need and nothing more

Even if it's all a lie

I'll build a life I can live by

I'll build a life I can live by

Mm, hmm, hmm

You can throw stones at my glass house

I can sit back and watch it shatter down

Mistakes don't count

When they're buried deep down in the ground

No, I want to build a life I can live by

Dream the kinda dream that never dies

Find a kiss that keeps me up all night

And the truth is, love is all I ever fight for

All I really need and nothing more

Even if it's all a lie

I'll build a life I can live by

I'll build a life I can live by, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, oh

Stack it all up, brick by brick

Throw it in the fire, stick by stick

Burn it 'til the end

And I'll just raise it up again, up again, up again

Oh, I want to build a life I can live by

Dream the kinda dream that never dies

Find a kiss that keeps me up all night

And the truth is, love is all I ever fight for

All I really need and nothing more

Even if it's all a lie

I'll build a life I can live by

I'll build a life I can live by

Live by, live by

I'll build a life I can live by
