Buildings Lyrics - Artist : Regina Spektor
He was a husband who drove his wife home drunk from the parties
He was a husband who drove his wife home And in the car he would lean her head gently against the side door window And in the bathroom he would hold her hair back and hope, saying Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings So tall these days And in the morning she'd wake up and crouch recollections all day But she would always always wake up the next morning And he'd take one look at her and say "Oh, oh it's okay" And her conscience would issue yet another last warning, saying Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings So tall these days And she would ask for time And she'd ask for time And she'd ask for time And she'd ask for time And she would beg for time And she'd beg for time And call it a gift And he would give her time And he'd give her time And he'd give her time And he'd give her time But time is not given and time is not taken It just sifts through itself But time is not given and time is not taken It just sifts through itself Sifts through itself Just sifts through itself Oh sifts through itself Just sifts through itself And it would be coffee and coffee and coffee and coffee and coffee And coffee some more He'd go to work and she'd take a sick day and rot at the core And by the time he came back she'd scrubbed the bathrooms and made them smell like pine It would be almost as if nothing had happened And he'd give her time Oh, oh, and he'd give her time, saying Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh don't they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings Oh they build buildings So tall these days And she would ask for time And she'd ask for time She'd ask for time She'd beg for time And she would beg for time And she would beg for time And call it a gift And he would give her time And he'd give her time And he'd give her time And he'd give her time But time is not given and time is not taken It just sifts through itself But time is not given and time is not taken It just sifts through itself Oh sifts through itself Sifts through itself, oh Oh sifts through itself Sifts through itself He was a husband, drove, time Hope, time, car, oh, core Core, sick day, core Coffee, core warning, last warning Was a husband, time, pine scrub, scrub Bathroom, lean, hair, back Car window, hope, time, give, don't they Build buildings tall these days |
