Let's not dwell on this; mistakes happen, let's move on
We shouldn't take tallies. They proved that system wrong
If you wash your hands, use my dirty water
We can come clean and we should do it together
We've got stories, roller coaster stories
And we can make this moment a tale of conquered seas
Cause I would cross an ocean of all our worst emotions
To never lose the feeling your smile gives me
We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all
Conversation crash, never mind, that came out wrong, don't listen to me
Let me rephrase the way I sing your song
Everything to lose, I won't take you for granted
Why say it plainly over something romantic
We've got mem'ries, disenchanted mem'ries
But we can overwhelm them with time we frame today
And give us new perspective for when we feel reflective
We can't be naive but we can meet halfway
We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all
All we know is what we choose to see
And all we are is whom we choose to be
We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we've already lost it all
