With a hammer and nails and a fear of failure

We are building a shed

Between here and heaven

Between the wait and the wedding

For as long as we both shall be dead

To the world beyond the boys and the girls

Trying to keep us calm

We can practice our lines

'Til we're deaf and blind

To ourselves to each other where it's

Fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold

And it's warm not hot

Have we all forgotten that we're getting old

With an arrow and bow and some seeds left to sow

We are staking our claim

On ground so fertile we forget who we've hurt along

The way and reach out for a strange hand to hold

Someone strong but not bold enough

To tear down the wall

Cause we ain't lost enough to find the stars ain't

Crossed why align them why fall

Hard not soft into

Fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold

Where it's warm not hot

Have we all forgotten that we're getting old

And it's fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold

And it's warm not hot

Has everyone forgotten that we're getting old

And it's fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold

And it's warm not hot

Have we all forgotten that we're getting old
