I built a house and I made it alone
With shaky boards and walls
But still standing up
I promised to myself long ago
I'll keep it holding strong
No matter the cost
Don't tell me how
Don't hold my hand
When shit goes wrong
I'll try again
"If you're gonna do it, do it right
It's better to stitch up all the seams
If you wanna make it through this life
You better forget about your dreams
Even if it's all you have (If it's all you have)"
We all want to 'make it' ourselves
We don't need direction... do we?
We don't care how it will turn out
We just need connection... don't we?
Don't tell me how
Don't hold my hand
When shit goes wrong
I'll try again
"If you're gonna do it, do it right
Why do you act so insecure?
If you wanna make it through this life
You better walk through that open door
Sometimes it takes all you have (It takes all you have)"
Being wise doesn't mean being old
And being smart is not doing what we're told
'Cause life is all about breaking the mold
If anyone corrects me with my ways
I'll tell 'em to fuck off and see how it plays
And carry on... and hope for better days
"If you're gonna do it, do it right
It's better to stitch up all the seams
And if you wanna make it through this life
You better forget about your dreams"
Nah, make sure that you do it how you like
Spilling your love out from the seams
'Cause if you wanna make it through this life
You better keep chasing down your dreams
Sometimes it takes all you have
All you have
