Brick By Boring Brick

1. Well, she lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind.

It's all about the exposure
The lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies.

Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds.

[Chorus:]
Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle.

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle.

2. So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out.

But it was a trick and the clock struck twelve
Well, make sure to build your heart
Brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down.

Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds.

3. Well, you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah, you built up a world of magic.

If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it.

But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah.
