Left my parents' home when I was a boy To a beach town where I learned to be a man Those lessons I have kept and carefully sown But for far too long I’ve done life on my own I've done life on my own But I'd like To build a home with you A life Together tried and true I’d like To build a home with you A life Together tried and true I'm still learning how to let you in Even when it makes me feel so small But I know that it's the only way we grow And I'm tired doing life here on my own Life here on my own And I'd like To build a home with you A life Together tried and true I'd like To build a home with you A life Together tried and true A place for all our wins and messes A place for us to cry and rest in Reminders that I'm not alone A place that we can call our own A place for all our wins and messes A place for us to cry and rest in Reminders that I'm not alone A place that we can call our own
