Building Up Walls

from Hold Up. Sit Tight. by Wailing Whales

lyrics

Building up walls although we’re breaking them down
C’mon baby swing that sledgehammer
I wanna knock some boundaries down
Building up walls although we’re breaking them down
With no more closet space these skeletons are finally free to move around
Look at them dance

We used to live in separate space
Points A and B with a timeline
Oh, how I used to miss your face
But absence kept our hearts in place

Now we need to compromise our two lives on one device
Always looking each other in the eyes
While stabbing forks into our thighs

Building up walls although we’re breaking them down
C’mon baby swing that sledgehammer
I wanna knock some boundaries down
Building up walls although we’re breaking them down
With no more closet space these skeletons are finally free to move around
Look at them go

Back when man made up monogamy
No one actually lived past thirty
And sure it exists purely for control; but we never followed gender roles
Because I love you and you love me
Your my wildflower
I’m your honeybee
After that it’s all luck and trust
What do you say; till death or bust?

Building up walls just to break them down
