[Chorus]
Let's build a house, tear this one down
Might take a while, but it'll be ours
Let's use the stones that everyone's thrown
We need a sanctuary of our own
Let's build a house
Let's build a house

[Verse 1]
You on the couch, me in the car
You in the light, me in the dark
Just tryna get where we're going
You on the edge, me on the ledge
Clinging to you, driving a wedge
Just tryna keep this thing floating

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Running up and down the halls
Always seem to hit a wall
We need to break some new ground

[Chorus]
Let's build a house, tear this one down
Might take a while, but it'll be ours
Let's use the stones that everyone's thrown
We need a sanctuary of our own
Let's build a house
Let's build a house

[Verse 2]
Laid on your love, laid on a rim
Ain't that enough money we spent?
When you gon' pay what you're owing?
'Cause I need a roof over my head
I need the truth, is it a yes?
Am I the one that you've chosen?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Running up and down the stairs
Bell is ringing, are you there?
Either get in or get out

[Chorus]
Let's build a house, tear this one down
Might take a while, but it'll be ours
Let's use the stones that everyone's thrown
We need a sanctuary of our own
Let's build a house
Let's build a house

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Yeah, let's build a house, can't no one tear down
Love is hammer, let's build our own town
Let's use the stones that everyone's thrown
We need a sanctuary of our own

[Outro]
Let's build a house, tear this one down
Might take a while, but it'll be ours
Let's use the stones that everyone's thrown
We need a sanctuary of our own
Let's build a house
