Cheap Old House
03:51

|||
Verse 1:
I don't have very lofty aspirations
Not trying to be the voice of my generation
Not looking for notoriety
The quiet life's alright by me
Just a modest man trying to improve my station
I think I can get there if I work hard
And I'm fortunate to have a bit of a head start
A cheap old house would be enough
I just need to keep it up
My pace is good but the journey is still far
Chorus:
I just want a cheap old house
That I bought with songs I wrote myself
It could be up north, or it could be down south
I could be on my own or with someone else
I just want a cheap old house
And to renovate, I might need some help
So I can tell myself, when I'm full of doubt
That my songs bought this house
Verse 2:
I'm not trying to pad some stranger's wallet
I'd rather acquire assets, or whatever you call it
I don't really care about money
Don't know much about the economy
Don't wanna pay rent, I'd rather pay monthly instalments
Chorus:
I just want a cheap old house
That I bought with songs I wrote myself
It could be up north, or it could be down south
I could be on my own or with someone else
I just want a cheap old house
And to renovate, I might need some help
So I can tell myself, when I'm full of doubt
That my songs bought this house
Bridge:
And I don't think I'm expecting too much
Having something to work towards is enough
And maybe one day
I'll save up enough to pay
Five, ten, or maybe twenty down
Chorus:
I just want a cheap old house
(Five, ten, or maybe twenty down)
That I bought with songs I wrote myself
It could be up north, or it could be down south
(Five, ten, or maybe twenty down)
I could be on my own or with someone else
I just want a cheap old house
(Etc.)
And to renovate, I might need some help
So I can tell myself, when I'm full of doubt
That my songs bought this house

I Don't Know

Verse:
I may not know how to plot a course
To the career of my dreams
But when I think about the songs I write
I think they're enough for me
Refrain:
But I don't know
Verse:
What will come next, or how to get there
Have I already peaked?
I'll never know, how much time I have left
But that makes me feel free
Refrain:
But I don't know
Bridge:
Three simple words
It's okay to feel unsure
If you act like you know
Will you grow?
I don't know
Bridge:
Three simple words
It's okay to feel unsure
Verse:
All that I know is that there's no room left in
My heart to hate anyone
All that I know is that my days are numbered
So I'll enjoy every one
Modified Refrain:
It's all I know

Verse
I won't do it 'cause I can't justify it
I won't do it if I can't justify it
I wouldn't do it if I couldn't justify it
I always need to justify my actions
I'm getting better at justifying my actions
I'm always able to justify my actions now
Pre-Chorus
Give me a chance! Give me a chance!
To show you how morally bankrupt I am!
Give me a stance! Give me a stance!
See how I got where I am?
Chorus
I just see options on the table
I don't see morals
Just paths to success
More money, influence, and power
Call it ambitious
I'm gonna impress. You. All
Verse 2
I swear I only have the purest intentions
Trust me I started with the purest intentions
I know that I only have selfish intentions now
Pre-Chorus (extended)
Give me a chance! Give me a chance!
I'll prove my value to you and your plan!
Give me a stance! Give me a stance!
Tell me if you want me to jump ship again!
Give me a chance! Give me a chance!
To show you how morally bankrupt I am!
Give me a stance! Give me a stance!
See how I got where I am?
Chorus
I just see options on the table
I don't see morals
Just paths to success
More money, influence, and power
Call it ambitious
I'm gonna impress. You
Post-Chorus
If you've ever wondered how I'm able to sleep at night
I've told myself it's justified inside my mind
If you ever wonder how I sleep at night
Every single action has been justified
Possible Solo
Chorus
I just see options on the table
I don't see morals
Just paths to success
More money, influence, and power
Call it ambitious
I'm gonna impress. You
Post-Chorus
If you've ever wondered how I'm able to sleep at night
I've told myself it's justified inside my mind
If you ever wonder how I sleep at night
Every single action has been justified

Absolute Jam

Verse:
Are you sitting ill at ease?
Felt like this a couple weeks?
Are you looking for a release?
Sing la da da ta da
Are you in frustration's snare?
Feel like pulling out your hair?
I know we have all been there
So la da da ta da
Hook:
La da ta da
La da ta da
La da da ta da
Verse 2:
We all may be in a jam
But at least we're in a jam
So right now we don't need a plan
Just la da da ta da
Hook:
La da ta da
La da ta da
La da da ta da
Bridge:
This song has
No meaning
You could call it
Almost absolute music
Hook:
La da ta da
La da ta da
La da da ta da
