Story Behind The Song

Song about finding a home, understanding what is important in life.

Lyrics

Well its a universal thing
to try to shine like a diamond ring
I keep comin around your neighborhood
to find the same old thing

that i cannot find a home
no single place to dig my hole
and rest my rested bones,
not worry about things i do not know

i'm gonna build my castle here
and break a foundation's ground
i'm not making a single move
until i learn all about...

cuz no mirror is not a cloud
turns reflections upside down
for once i get things straightened out
all i want to do is turn around

turn towards my parents roots,
where their parents before them grew
up in towns i've never seen before
my ancestors, i have no clue

but i'm gonna build my castle here
and break a foundation on icey ground
i'm not making a single move
until i learn all about

i learn all about you

you've been going around breaking hearts
for two years,
m not getting caught up in your game
the irony, the humility of your situation:
you don't even know your own name
but i've got three words for you
not this time
i will not get caught in your games
and i will not commit your crimes
and they're crimes

singin misery ain't half bad
makes you realize what you have
you'll never fully understand
until your own voice, on you pass

people say you're down and all is up
i say those people are fuckin nuts
they're the ones who still believe that happiness is drinking from a cup

cuz all that matters is your friends
your family, and where your life begins
only truth, not your collected dreams,
is gonna matter in the end
