A Face to Call Home

  • I am an architect
    Of days that haven't happened yet
    I can't believe a month is all it's been
    You know my paper heart
    The one I fill with pencil marks
    I think I might have gone and inked you in

    Little by little, inch by inch
    We built a yard
    With a garden in the middle of it
    It ain't much, but it's a start
    You got me swaying right along
    To the song in your heart
    And a face to call home
    A face to call home
    You got a face to call home

    It's so good you didn't see
    The nervous wreck I used to be
    I never thought a man could feel so small
    You never look at me like I'm a liability
    I bet you'd think I've never been at all

    Little by little, inch by inch
    We built a yard
    With a garden in the middle of it
    It ain't much, but it's a start
    You got me swaying right along
    To the song in your heart
    And a face to call home
    A face to call home
    You got a face to call home

    A face to call home
    A face to call home
    You got a face to call home

    Maybe I can stay awhile
    Maybe I can stay awhile
    Maybe I can stay awhile
    I'm talking like all of the time
    Maybe I can stay awhile

    Little by little, inch by inch
    We built a yard
    With a garden in the middle of it
    It ain't much, but it's a start
    You got me swaying right along
    To the song in your heart
    And a face to call home
    A face to call home
    You got a face to call home Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Sabrina from Taylorsville I asked Siri what John Mayer’s favorite color was, and this is what came up. Full disclosure it seems like it’s going to be a green.
