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
