Watsky - Cardboard Castles Lyrics
[Hook]Out on the curb againOn the curb againI’ve come to learn it’s hard and firmOut on the curb again[Bridge]I’m in my room making cardboard castlesWith shoestring ropeSoup spoon drawbridgeTinfoil moatI’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 milI run with no laces, and when I fall I startTo build my Taj Mahal with shit I found at DollarmartThis life’s our greatest projectThe journey’s all an artBut I built my perfect nest, and it’s ‘bout to fall apartAgain and again and then I just I make it twice as highAnd I give my tower teeth, and I watch it bite the skyBecause I might just cry if I don’t keep it movingI focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined‘Cause every stone will crumble down to dust, to dust, to dustAnd I say love thy neighbor, and I say ***** thy haterThere’s nothing I can’t solve with duct tape and construction paperI don’t want a Band-Aid, I’ll only rip it off, I’ll rip it off[Hook][Verse 2]I know someday I’ll pass, and maybe then restI’m laying on my backHeaven’s my bench press‘Cause my imagination is crazy as Glenn BeckA cloud is floating by in the shape of a rent checkAnd when the world ends, that’s what I’ll plan towardsThen I’ll trust girlfriends and maybe landlordsCause I been played but I’m looking for moreI say, what would I gain if I took it to court‘Cause if people were perfect then there wouldn’t be warWe stay pushing but once we get a foot in the doorWe get our toes chopped off and a foot of manureI still gotta believe peopleAre good at the core‘Cause if we weren’t, what’s at stake?Why would we stay to break what we makeAnd create all these beautiful mistakesWhen they blow our house down let’s draw on the walls, the walls, the walls[Bridge][Hook][Bridge]
