If I Built My Home From Paper

If I built my home from paper
You'd say I'd done my best
And when the wolf comes round to blow it down
You'd build it back again
If I lost myself in longing
In the forest of my head
Oh your hands are at the ready
To take me home again

When I feel too big for my own bones
To small for life's affairs
It's a trouble living in this world
But it's home when you are there
Oh it's home when you are there
It's a terrifying feeling

It's the fear of letting go
Free falling in slow motion
Into the arms of the unknown
If you catch me running backwards
Getting tangled in the change
Will you promise, tell me honest
If I'm lost along the way

Cause I may be getting older
But maybe I'm still scared
It's a trouble living in this world
But it's home when you are there
Oh it's home when you are there
If I built my home from paper
You'd say I'd done my best

And when the wolf comes round to blow it down
You'd build it back again
When I feel too big for my own bones
To small for life's affairs
It's a trouble living in this world
But it's home when you are there
Oh it's home when you are there
