lumberyard

Carry me down to the lumberyard

Build me up into something that you're proud of

I couldn't tell you how we got this far

But I'm giving in cause I'm afraid I'll amount to something

Cause that's what you wanted for me

Yeah imma be a star, I'll drive a new car

You'll have a new house, in a new part of a new town

If I knew how to get it it wouldn't feel so far

You've been directing like the north star

Making money in a castle made of plywood

I wish you noticed that I'm trying hard

And I wish you knew that I can't get out of bed some days

Long ride, daydream, eyes closed, phosphene in my eyelids

4 Alarms, 3 drinks, 2 jobs, 1 dirty pillow to scream in

Make plans, demands, throw bands, watch it all fall into pieces

I can't put them together so why do I even try

Carry me down to the lumberyard

Build me up into something that you're proud of

I couldn't tell you how we got this far

But I'm giving in cause I'm afraid I'll amount to something

Slow down, slow down

Constantly on the comedown, comedown, comedown

Should I take a flight, or can I spend the night

Would it be alright, would it be alright

Sometimes I miss the middle school yard

Back in the days when I was trying to fit in

And all my friends were into guns and cars

What do they think of me now that I'm a misfit

Carry me down to the lumberyard

Build me up into something that you're proud of

I couldn't tell you how we got this far

But I'm giving in cause I'm afraid I'll amount to something
