about

This is a song about trying to move on when things don't go like you planned.

lyrics

Brick by brick with blood and tears for mortar
You built this house to keep others warm
Year by year it slowly became obvious
You’d be the first one left out in the storm

Complicated people
In a complicated world
It is what it is
That don’t mean it don’t hurt

Break down if you need a minute
Shake the dust from your shoes
Curse the names of the ones who did it
But don’t let them turn your golden heart blue

Load the van and turn the engine over
Brush the snow with hands inside your sleeves
You might make the state line before sunrise
Leaving feels like failure, but it also means you’re free

Break down if you need a minute
Shake the dust from your shoes
Curse the names of the ones who did it
But don’t let them turn your golden heart blue
Don’t let them turn your golden heart blue

[synth solo!]

Break down if you need a minute
Shake the dust from your shoes
Curse the names of the ones who did you wrong
Break down if you need a minute
I’ll be here when you do
Raise a glass to the ones who tried their best
Then turn your golden heart to something new
Yeah turn your golden heart to something new
Give yourself to someone who deserves you
Turn your golden heart to something new
