Rust and Roses

(ba-da-da, ba-da-da-dum)

I lost my keys inside the freezer again

Beside the frozen peas and half a loaf of bread

I make a coffee but I drink it when it's cold

They say it's charming,

I just think I'm getting old

But oh, the world keeps spinning round so fast

And my shoelaces never seem to last

We're building castles out of cardboard and clay

Just trying to make it through another day (haha)

I bought a plant and then I watched it slowly die

I gave it water and a little lullaby

My phone is glowing with a hundred unread texts

I wonder what mundane disaster happens next

And maybe we don't have it figured out

That's what the best stories are all about (ooh-ooh)

But oh, the world keeps spinning round so fast

And my shoelaces never seem to last

We're building castles out of cardboard and clay

Just trying to make it through another day (ooh-yeah)

Just cardboard and clay (ba-da-da) And we're doing okay
