bricks make houses - naomi johnson lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
we drove through that part of town
where the trees are in a row and all the porches wrap around
just to see the lights at christmas
and i’d whisper to my sister, “what’s it like to live like this?”

[pre*chorus]
we went home to beans and rice
around the table, hours passed
we said our prayers goodnight and fell asleep fast

[chorus]
we were barely getting by
but we forgot most of the time
we weren’t broken, we were just a little broke
and i feel rich now looking back
because of who, not what we had
i learned love ain’t built with stacks of painted stone
bricks make houses, people make homes

[verse 2]
we shared beds and we shared shoes
our parents were nomads, we were always on the move
we might not’ve always made the rent
but d*mn we sure made memories everywhere we went
[pre*chorus]
with pencil markings on the wall
and mother may i down the hall
each other’s all we had and ’cause of that, we had it all

[chorus]
we were barely getting by
but we forgot most of the time
we weren’t broken, we were just a little broke
and i feel rich now looking back
because of who, not what we had
i learned love ain’t built with stacks of painted stone
bricks make houses, people make homes

[bridge]
all houses have two stories that don’t always align
the way they look out front, but what’s going on inside?

[chorus]
we were barely getting by
but we forgot most of the time
we weren’t broken, we were just a little broke
and i feel rich now looking back
because of who, not what we had
i learned love ain’t built with stacks of painted stone
yeah, bricks make houses, people make homes
[outro]
