lyrics

Went to the landfill with my brother today
We finally started that renovation
I'm cheap labor when I've got nothing to do.
These days small talk is about the best we can manage
Claw hammers doing most of the damage we do now
The demolition felt good, bent nails and splintered wood
got me thinking about you.

I keep thinking 'bout the love we make
The walls we build and the bonds we break
The things we use and then just throw away
I want to hold on to what we got
Make your heart my home and not this landfill
Where everything wastes away.

Watch the bulldozers rumble by
Sitting on the tailgate drinking lite beer
as the recycled sun sinks into the haze.
He asked about you and I told him we're good
like galvanized screws set in pressure treated wood
We're stuck together, probably last forever
probably grow old and gray.

I keep thinkin' 'bout the love we make
The walls we build and the bonds we break
The things we use and then just throw away
I want to hold on to everything we got
Make your heart my home and not this landfill

Where everything wastes away
Some of this could be saved
