For Saying Yes

frostedpornflakes:

the basement has been flooding for years 
let’s bring those heavy boxes up the stairs and dry them out 

give the walls a fresh new coat of paint 
open all the windows, let the sunlight in again 

weed the garden, polish silverware 
brush away the cobwebs, we are almost getting there 

we will fix this house 
with our own four hands 
from the inside out 
you and i will mend 

we clean out the closet of old clothes 
tattered, no longer fashionable, oh, how we’ve grown 

find a pair for all those single socks 
we’re doing laundry, look how much we’ve got in common now 

all the time lost, never talking 
our poor house just went on rotting 
but its not too late 
we’re almost getting there 

we will fix this house 
with our own four hands 
from the inside out 
you and i will mend 

we will fix this house 
before summer ends 
from the inside out 
we will try again 

no more sweeping dirt under the rug 
swallowing what we really want to say 
no more hiding the story behind 
those pictures we never liked anyway 
no apologies on a post-it note 
inconspicuous on the fridge 
just tell me how you have been doing 
all of these uncomfortable years 

someday our work here will be done 
but for now, let’s keep at it 
we’re almost getting there

town hall is a very good very cute folk band and they deserve more love

Good music is good.
