From the recording Misaligned Apples

Lyrics

Love moves in before you see her
She holds you tight but you’ve never felt freer
Once it’s time there’s no surprise
When you know you’re not alone
And you go from rent to own
 
Chorus:
Master plans made, love designs all
Pictures framed, got your records on the wall
Here’s to years of harvesting your honeycomb
‘Cause when you build your house, you just wanna stay home
 
Now you’re bound, each other’s keeper
The more you stay, your foundation gets deeper
Making life that love will fill
As the years add on the fun
Now you’ve grown from two to one
 (chorus)
 
When the time comes to remember
And the roots of aging finally start to show
Look up at this roof you raised together, and say to it,
“Shelter us from the storms time’s blowing,
Shelter us from the slowing down,
Shelter us as we stare into tomorrow,
With the secrets that lovers know”
 
Master plans made, love designs all
Pictures framed, got your records on the wall
Here’s to years of harvesting your honeycomb
Master plans made, love designs all
Pictures framed, got your records on the wall
Here’s to years of harvesting your honeycomb
 ‘Cause when you build a house you just wanna stay,
Build a house you just wanna
When you build a house you just wanna stay,
Wanna stay
Wanna stay home
